About Berwick St John

Berwick St John (pop 250) is the westernmost village in the Chalke Valley, and the Benefice. Nestled amongst the chalk downs, the River Ebble rises here. It is a rural community, with four working farms and associated businesses including a blacksmith. There is a pub and Village Hall, both well supported.

Berwick is renowned for its community spirit, from street parties for national events to its Harvest Supper and Fete. Above all, it is the home of the biennial Country Fayre, founded by village steam enthusiasts and now a huge event which last year raised over £63,000 for the Salisbury Hospital Stars Appeal.
