Bilbrook shines at the 2025 Staffordshire Best Kept Village Awards!

We are delighted and proud to announce that Bilbrook has been recognised with multiple awards and a highly commended prize in this year’s Staffordshire Best Kept Village competition.

Out of over 40 villages, we were among the top performers and were ranked second in Community Spirit for the whole of Staffordshire, earning us a Highly Commended Award!

It’s been a long time since we entered the Best Kept Village Competition. We may not be a conventional ‘pretty’ village with thatched cottages and cobblestone streets, but what we have are amazing people, lots of talent and creativity, and some wonderful green spaces.

A big thank you to everyone in Bilbrook who contributed to our success. We know we have a fantastic Community, and it’s wonderful to see that recognised!

Here’s to BKV 2026!
