Due to some unexpected circumstances around my health the twice monthly Book Sales in Congresbury War Memorial Hall will not resume until March 14^th and March 28th 2026.  In future the Book Sale will run between 10.00am and 12 noon.  Reasons will be explained to my regular customers in due course but are necessary as we start the 28^th year of the sales.

There will be reductions in price, which will benefit all buyers, as the items will be sold on a “Buy One Get One Free” basis on all stock. Similar reductions will also apply to Jigsaw Puzzles. Hopefully villagers will take advantage of all stock reductions.

The size of the village has been gradually rising. Many people may not realise that the hall is a registered charity.  They might like to take a look at what the hall has to offer, including Bingo, Badminton, Snooker, Rifle and Pistol Shooting and many others, when there is a Book Sale on.  

This is an open invitation to all to check us out.  Look forward to meeting you

Irving Prowse – Chairman

Congars Cafe is hoping to put on more events in the New Year and so as well as the monthly fused glass workshops, we are looking for other craft workshops or groups that would like to make use of the cafe space to put on their workshop or have a regular group meeting.  People can either hire the cafe out of hours or in cafe opening times and catering can be provided by us.

If you are interested then please make contact us on 07715876827 to discuss your needs further. 

The A370, West Town Road in Backwell between Station Road and Brockley Combe Road will be closed  to service X1 between 08:00 and 17:00 from Monday 23rd through to Friday 27th October (five days) to facilitate carriageway works.

Service X1 heading towards Weston-super-Mare will be diverted via Colliters Way, A38, Langford to Congresbury traffic lights.

Due to the length of the diversion route and the amount of traffic that will be seeking alternative routes please allow extra time to make your journey.

Please also note there will be overnight closures 20:00 – 06:00 the following week 30th October to 4th November and the same diversion routes and bus stop closures will apply and the web page will be updated to reflect this nearer the time. Please monitor this page for any updates that may be necessary. 

Regretfully the bus stops between and including Jubilee Inn in Long Ashton and Congresbury Bridge will not be served and passengers are advised to board or alight at either Winterstoke Road bus stop in Ashton or the Strawberry Line bus stop in Congresbury. 

Service X1 heading towards Bristol will operate the reverse of the above.

Regretfully the bus stops between and including Tesco in Congresbury and Jubilee Inn in Long Ashton will not be served and passengers are advised to board or alight at either Station Road bus stop in Congresbury or the Blackmoors Lane bus stop in Ashton.

Alternatively, passengers wishing to travel between Backwell and Bristol can board the X8 service.
