Cavenham Farmers Market Update

Due to the adverse whether forecast this coming weekend, we regret that the final Cavenham Farmers Market of 2026 which was scheduled for this Sunday 25th October has been cancelled.

Cavenham Village Green Closure

Advance notice of the Green being closed on Wednesday 18th November 2026 .
House of Play Company will be carrying out major renovation work on
the Play Tower & Snake.


They have requested the Park be closed whilst this work is carried out .

Hopefully this will be for one day only but if longer we will let you know .

Many thanks again to SRC who donated the majority of the funds for
this to be completed, without which we would have probably had to
remove these from the Green .

Update regarding the Speed Indicator Device (SID)

Dear all,

after a 10-day test period with the speed indicator device (SID) we have found that this model doesn’t quite suit our needs. Therefore we have now returned the SID so that we can obtain a more suitable device. We will keep you all updated with a timeline on when to expect the arrival of the new device.

Thank you for your understanding.

Village Highways Update

Following a recent meeting with Andy from Suffolk Highways, several improvements and upcoming works have been confirmed for the village.

Highways have carried out a number of maintenance tasks, including cleaning all road signs and straightening the Cavenham village sign at the Tuddenham end. In addition, three worn 30mph repeater signs are scheduled to be replaced.

Over the next 10 days, there is a work order in place to:

  • Replace a gulley outside the old saw mill
  • Repair a strip pothole opposite the old saw mill

An inspector will also be assessing the gulley near the church that frequently becomes blocked. A report will be produced, and further works will be arranged. This may take longer, as a more permanent solution is being considered rather than routine clearing.

We will provide further updates as more information becomes available.
