The current Hawkesbury Upton Village Hall was built in 1981 but has had 4 major extensions and work done since.The Hall is used extensively by many local organisations and private hirers.
Hawkesbury Show attracts around 2,500 visitors each year and is held at the Village Hall and recreation ground, High Street, Hawkesbury Upton. The main attraction is the large produce marquee, full of the biggest and best fruit, vegetables and flowers as well as crafts, home baking, wine, photographs and pictures.
Lower Woods is the largest Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust nature reserve, and one of the largest woodlands in the county. A visit to Lower Woods is to go back in time to what is still a Mediaeval landscape of individual woodlands and coppices surrounded by ancient woodbanks and separated by fingers of grazed Common land called 'trenches'.
Severn View Farm is a small Organic farm situated on Inglestone Common specialising in home produced organic meat and organic meat products from their own rare breed animals. They also have a range of organic crafts and complementary products for sale in the farm shop.
The Hawkesbury Parish Plan sets out the views of the people living in the parish of Hawkesbury about how they would like their local area to develop in the future. It has been put together by local volunteers following more than a year of information gathering, analysis anddiscussion within the local community through the Hawkesbury Vision Project.
