Rampton '77 Committee

Founded in 1977, all our events aim to foster social cohesion and to promote and maintain the community spirit in our village. Funds raised then provide support for projects and good causes for all ages in our village and the wider community.

Annual Over 60s Dinner

The annual Over 60s Dinner will take place on Saturday 25th January 2025 with a delicious three course meal cooked by our fabulous kitchen team. Rampton's very own Show will follow with stellar performances by our village cast and crew. Invitations will be sent out in late December to qualifying villagers.

Teams and individuals ran the “Rampton Mile”  through Rampton’s beautiful Parkland and woods on Sunday 8th September. Medals were awarded for the fastest team and individuals.

Over 100 intrepid explorers set out on safari following our fun village trail, searching for our wonderful jungle animals, solving the clues and winning lots of lovely chocolate prizes.  Arriving in jungle fancy dress won an extra prize!  Our FREE jungle crafts for children were also very popular and both the Darts and Bowl for a Pig had queues!  Lots of fun games and stalls. Thank you so much for all those who donated cakes/bottles/prizes but espcially to those who donated their time and made those such a wonderful event.

On 1st October 2023 we started a pilot project to financially support frequent CarCare users. This has proved very useful so we are delighted that from 1st January 2024 we will be fully funding the contribution normally paid by CarCare users.

Rampton's Summer Fayre

The Summer Fayre on Saturday 8th July was held at the Village Hall due to risk of thunderstorms.  In the end it was a scorchingly hot afternoon with about 7 drops of rain! Rampton turned out in force and a great time was had by all! Despite the weather risk Ramptonians by the dozen enjoyed stalls, raffle, refreshments, games, children's races, and Pirate Jon's Treasure Hunt!  Votes were also cast for our next local Good Cause. Thank you so much to everyone who came and especially to the small army of helpers who gave up all or part of their weekend - we literally couldn't do it without you!
