Get involved

There’s plenty for you to get involved with — your village groups and societies welcome new members or volunteers.

Bildeston has a wide range of groups and societies, enabling people to keep fit and get involved in community groups and initiatives. Below is a list of all the groups and societies in Bildeston. If you are part of a group that is not listed here, please contact to get your group added.

The village event calendar displays the days and times that these groups are running and also contact details for the group organiser.

If you have an hour or two to spare, why not get involved to help run some of these groups or even help your community by joining the Parish Council? To find out more, please see the volunteering section below.
