The Founders Of Thoulstone Park

Wednesday 19th November 2025

A message from Thoulstone Park:

Meet the founders of Thoulstone Park

James and Alka have poured their hearts into transforming what was once a derelict golf course into a thriving eco community space for all.

James is incredibly passionate and has always felt a strong connection to nature. As a child he was nicknamed Percy after the famous gardener Percy Thrower, thanks to the countless hours he spent in the garden with his mum. No surprise that Thoulstone Park now feels like a slightly bigger garden for him to tend to.

Alka is resourceful and thoughtful, with a love for restoring old things and giving them new life. She sees beauty in repair and renewal, and her eye for detail and creativity brings so much heart to the project. Her background as an entrepreneur and her dedication as a mother of four shine through in everything she does here.

They each bring their own gifts to the land and to the community growing around it.

Follow along as we spotlight more of the wonderful team behind the incredible businesses at Thoulstone Park.

A Christmas Tree For Jubilee Gardens

Friday 14th November 2025

A message from the Jubilee Gardens Community Committee:

We are a newly formed community committee for Jubilee Gardens.

We’re delighted to share that we have arranged for an outdoor Christmas tree to help bring our community together during the festive season. To make this a truly special centrepiece, we are seeking donations of Christmas decorationsâ€”such as baubles, bows, beads, and other festive items, to allow us to decorate the tree.

All decorations will be stored and reused each year to keep the festive spirit alive for seasons to come.

Additionally, we are working alongside Warminster Baptist Church, who have organised a nativity pageant within the estate to bring Christmas joy to the children. The Christmas tree will serve as the perfect finishing touch to this celebration.

Thank you for taking the time to consider supporting us as we bring Jubilee Gardens together for a joyful and memorable Christmas.

The Grey Shed At Bishopstrow Free Range Eggs Is Broken And Will Be Replaced

Thursday 6th November 2025

Message from Bishopstrow Free Range Egg Shed:

The grey egg shed has regrettably been broken by someone allowing a child to stand on the egg shelf causing it to collapse

We have ordered a new shed which will take a few days to arrive, build and fit.

In the meantime we will have eggs available in the smaller brown egg shed but they will be fewer in number due to the shed size

We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause in the meantime’
