Village ready to party on street

Comment on this story

A VILLAGE street party is being held in Hilton this week for the first time in five years.

There will be falconry displays, fairground rides, along with a variety of stalls, at the party on Saturday.

The party, which was once an annual event, stopped after the organising committee folded.

Chris Hill has now taken up the helm and hopes it will become an annual event again.

The 42-year-old, who is former chairman of the parent-teacher association at Hilton Primary School, said: "There are lots of things going on during the day, including gymnastics and karate displays, falconry displays, fairground rides and a barbecue."

The party is in and around the village hall, in Peacroft Lane, from 2pm until 6pm. Admission is free.

Hilton



Notes: Hilton village is situated on the old Derby to Uttoxeter road. Hilton village has several pubs including the 15th century Old Talbot inn and the more modern Hilton Hotel. The present village hall opened in 1989, and a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel in the Main Street was built in 1841 and is still a thriving place of worship. Hilton has recently expanded into a large commuter village populated by people working for Toyota, Rolls-Royce or commuting to Derby, Nottingham or the West Midlands, and although the local school is being expanded to be able to manage with the new numbers, other local services are struggling to cope.


Transport: Regular buses run from Hilton to Derby and Burton upon Trent. There is no railway station at Hilton, the nearest being Tutbury, Willington or Burton. Taxi - Mickleover Cars Sutton Lane Industrial Estate, Sutton Lane, Hilton, Derby, DE65 5FE
