Unfortunately due to lack of support this year's Abbotswood Apple Day due to take place in October has been cancelled, the next event will be the Christmas event on 25th November. 

We hope this hasn't caused you any inconvenience and look forwards to the Christmas event. In the mean time do keep an eye out for other AAG organised things which are ongoing for you to be involved in.

Such as the 2 gardening groups which take place on Friday afternoons from 1pm till 3pm at the Allotment garden by St Nix Church or every Second Sunday meeting at the shops at Abbotswood, new members always welcome.

  • If you haven't been already do pop down to the Underpass (under Rodford Way) which comes out by the shops at Abbotswood to take a look at the brand new art which has been created under there. 


  • It was created by children, young people and adults who live locally during a series of workshops to practise and then painting workshops at the end of July. 


  • The images which are on the walls all came from ideas which were suggested by people who live locally.    
  • The images were then translated into patterns by Tom and Jack of Paintsmiths who facilitated the workshops and lead on the painting of the Underpass. 
  • The money to pay for the project was raised by Abbotswood Action Group through grants from the local Police and Crime Commissioner Community Fund and also via Member Awarded Funding from South Gloucestershire Council. 
  • If you aren't able to wander that way then do take a look at the photos of the new art which you can find on the Abbotswood Action Group Facebook page.
