Clubs, Committees and Societies in Willersey Village.
Because of their inherent beauty, villages in the Cotswolds attract many visitors. If a village however has say too many holiday cottages or absentee landlords, then the usual activities can fade away.
Willersey fortunately does have a really vibrant commercial and social life.
As well as our churches, St Peter's &
the Methodist Church, our two pubs,
The New Inn & and
The Bell Inn,
here are some of the clubs and societies
which are important contributors to social life in Willersey and the surrounding area.
