People’s Emergency Briefing Film

by | Oct 16, 2026

How are climate change and the loss of nature affecting our food, health, economy and everyday lives here in Britain?

The People’s Emergency Briefing is a powerful 50-minute film bringing together leading UK experts in climate science, food security, health, economics, national security and nature. It presents the evidence clearly and accessibly, looking at the risks we face and what can be done.

The screening will be followed by a community discussion facilitated by Neil Povey of Hailsham FM and there will be experts in the audience to answer questions.

The event is non-partisan and open to everyone. Local councillors, community leaders, health and education professionals, faith groups, environmental organisations and other local decision-makers are also being invited.

Come along, watch the film and join the conversation.

RVP’s Cars & Caffeine – HALLOWEEN SPECIAL!

by | Oct 16, 2026

🚨 CARS & CAFFEINE: THE TWILIGHT HALLOWEEN FINALE! 🎃💀🕷️
Following our absolute monster of a September show where 115 cars packed out the showground, we are dropping the daylight and changing the game for our final event of the 2026 season!
Join us on Sunday 25th October from 15:00 to 19:00 at The Bull’s Head Showground, Boreham Street (BN27 4SG) for our first ever Halloween Night Fundraiser! 🎬🔊
(Please note that The Bulls head opens at 16:00 but we’ve been given explicit permission to arrive an hour early)
As dusk falls, we are transforming the grass show field into a highly atmospheric, custom-lit automotive event. We’ve got a full DJ lighting setup mounted alongside our PA audio rig and ambient rope lighting to completely alter the vibe on the field. So whether you are bringing down a classic cruiser, a vintage vehicle, a custom build, or rolling in with a supercar convoy, every machine has a dedicated space. 🏎️🏍️⚡
🚒 SUPPORTING THE HEROES:
This special evening event is officially running as a fundraiser to support The Fire Fighters Charity UK. Every penny raised from our collection hubs, donation buckets and bake sale goes straight to backing the incredible frontline crews who protect drivers and riders on our roads every day.
🏆 THE HALLOWEEN AWARDS SHOWCASE:
To max out the spooky vibes, we are officially running two custom competitions on the night! Get creative, go wild, and show us what you’ve got:
• Best Decorated Car: Dress your machine up with cobwebs, skeletons, custom lighting, or a spooky theme. The most atmospheric build on the field takes the crown!
• Best Dressed Visitor: Dust off your best costumes, masks, or full horror gear. The best outfit on the grass wins!
Alongside these competitions, we’re looking to host a TRUNK OR TREAT hour for any children who attend. Drivers are incentivized to bring any wrapped sweets to the field for this and a strict no movement rule is to be in place while this takes place for their safety. 🍬🍫
🍻 REFUEL STATIONS:
Warm cooked meals, hot drinks, pints, and cheesy chips will be running all afternoon and evening inside The Bull’s Head pub to keep you fueled in the autumn chill! 🍟☕
⚠️ THE ATTENDANCE BLUEPRINT:
To help our marshal team safely map out our custom runway lighting lanes, manage the field ingress, and maximize parking capacity, please click ‘Going’ or ‘Interested’ on this event page if you plan to display or visit!
Our strict grassroots rules apply on exit: Walking pace on the grass turf and absolutely NO burnouts, launch control, or antisocial behavior on the public roads. Let’s keep it fun, keep it safe, and protect our stunning venue.
Grab your hoodies, load your passengers, and let’s light up the field for an unbelievable cause. See you on the dark grid! 👊🔥
