Our story
Minch Life was set up in 2017 by a group of volunteers as it was felt there was a need to bring the town together. Newcomers and local residents alike might struggle to find out what was going on in the town and the surrounding areas and when and where events were taking place. There were, and are, many good resources such as the Parish Council website, the Market House website and Churches’ websites but nothing that brought everything together.
Minch Life is responsible for bringing you the biennial Country Fayre, as well as the Christmas decorations in the town centre. A separate Fayre Committee was set up in 2019 to organise and manage the Fayre and it was a great success. It was then decided that both the Minch Life and Fayre committees should be amalgamated.
We created the Minch Life Community Interest Company in 2021. The company’s aims are to benefit the communities within Minchinhampton Parish, in particular by holding the Country Fayre every 2 years and also providing regular newsletters and this website.
Minch Life is a non-profit website for the Minchinhampon community – a single source for news, events and information; designed to help promote local businesses and to assist groups, clubs and organisations to promote and co-ordinate their activities.
If you have or know of any events that you would like us to promote on our Events page, and it you do not feel able to put the information on yourself, then please contact us at info@minchlife.com.
