Wiltshire Best Kept Villages of 2026

BEST KEPT VILLAGE COMPETITION 2026

Judging will soon begin…

Our fantastic volunteer judges will be out and about across Wiltshire visiting villages as part of this year’s competition — celebrating all the incredible effort that goes into keeping our communities looking their very best

Round 1: 9 May – 24 May
Round 2 & Laurence Kitching Competition: 27 June – 19 July

A huge thank you to our amazing judges for giving up their time, and to our wonderful sponsors for their continued support — we couldn’t do this without you

Villages — it’s your time to shine!

• Tidy those frontages
• Care for your green spaces
• Show off your community pride

And remember…
If you spot people quietly looking around with clipboards… they’re not being nosy — they’re our judges!

Good luck to all our villages
Let’s make Wiltshire shine!
