Welcome to Buriton

Local expert Nick Heasman will explain many things that make the countryside and community of Buriton very special: from the wonderful starry night skies above our heads to the huge natural reservoir of the chalk rocks below our feet - via all the special plants, trees and wildlife all around us. Very few parts of the planet are special enough to be included in National Parks - Buriton is one of those special places ...

70 years ago hundreds of allied troops were camped in and around the parish in the build up to the D-Day Landings and Operation Overlord. Buriton Village Association is working in partnership with the D-Day Museum in Southsea to find out as much as possible about this period of local history - and a special evening talk will be held on Tuesday 10th June.

Special adviser on the Speilberg film 'War Horse', Andy Robertshaw will give a fascinating insight into the making of a major blockbuster movie as well as unique knowledge about the role of horses in the conflicts of the First World War. Specially arranged for half-term week, this talk will appeal to adults and children of all ages.

An excellent series of films has been arranged for the spring of 2014 with some very recently released films - and international award nominees.

Come and help us to find what is growing, wriggling, flying and singing in the Chalk Pits Nature Reserve.
