Hurst on TV

Many of you will have seen the village of Hurst on ITV 1 on Monday, 27th August. This was one of five documentaries in a series Village Voices, made by Plus3 Productions.

The documentary showed some of our well-known village people, including Terry Bunyard, wood carver Clive Winson, and hedge layer Richard Girdler. Stuart Croft, countryside ranger and scout leader, was seen with the Scouts measuring trees for the Veteran Tree project.

The Morris Dancers, Diana Brimblecombe Animal Rescue Centre and the historic Bowling Green and Almshouses were also featured. The documentary centred around the Hurst Horse Show and Country Fayre, and Katie Barton, publicity officer for the Horse Show, comments:

ITV (Meridian region) clearly agreed that we have a very special village as they selected Hurst for their Village Voices documentary. If you saw the programme, then we hope you will agree that we do have some lovely traditions in Hurst and we hope they will continue to thrive for future generations.
