BRADLEY STOKE MATTERS

The June issue of your local community magazine is now out and available to download here. Our front cover illustrates some of the local recognition of the 80th anniversary of VE day on 8th May in remembrance of all those who fought, suffered and died for us all.  Thank you to BSTC Councillor Ben Randles and SGPC John Rendell for the photos.

What a great issue we have for you again this month!  If you’ve never heard of the local Repair Cafe, turn the page and you can read all about this local initiative and even get involved!  Bradley Stoke Festival takes place over the weekend of 7th and 8th of June, let’s hope this fantastic weather of late makes a return for this great community event.  Also on 8th June you are invited to travel over 600 years back in history with the Winterbourne Barn Medieval Day. There will be lots of new performers and crafts-people transporting you back to medieval times!

We also have updates from our Police Commissioner and our local MP,  as well as the Old School Room Scouts, Little Stoke Ladies Club, ROKH Dance group, amongst others.  Abbeywood Community School share their positive Ofsted feedback and also news on further expansion of the ‘Good in every category’ secondary school.

We have a number of new advertisers joining us this edition, including the new owners of the family run convenience store in Stoke Gifford (see opposite).  As you will have noticed from our front cover it has been 20 years since we started the Bradley Stoke Matters magazine back in the summer of 2025, with the Stokes joining shortly thereafter.  We have seen many changes over the years and our very first advertiser, Medway Design, is still with us all these years later, along with many others who have been with us from our early black and white days!

If you are a business looking to promote your services across the local area, do get in touch and we will be happy to help. And please, if you get the opportunity, do let our advertisers know that you have seen them within our pages.  Enjoy the Read!

Deadline for the July edition is 13th June 2025.
