Community Calendar 2026
Photo Competition
It's Back!
Do you have a Penkhull Calendar gracing your home this year? Did you gift calendars to your friends and family? We know they were sent far and wide and they were much appreciated by so many people.
Best of all we raised over £1,000 for the village hall which has been vital in being able to carry out maintenance and refurbishment like roof repairs. Thank you to everyone who was so generous with their support.
​
As the 2025 calendar was such a success we have decided to do it again!
This year there will be a couple of changes to the rules and we hope you will enter a picture of Penkhull so that we can once again sell the calendars in our community and raise even more for your Village Hall.
The major change is that entry is FREE! and this year you can only submit ONE photo. Like last year, the community will have the opportunity to vote for their favourite photo for the front cover at an event that will take place on Friday 12th September - further details will be announced nearer the time.
There is will be cash prizes for the winning photograph (£50) as well as the photos voted second (£30) and third (£20) at the event on Friday 12th September. These prizes have been very kindly sponsored by Raymond Chase Engineers Ltd.
