Wind Farm Proposals
Kelda Water have submitted two scoping reports, one for 17 x 125m turbines at Scargill Reservoir and the second on adjoining land for 7 x 100m turbines; these are close on the heals of a scoping report for 4 x 115 turbines on adjoining land to the other two. These three proposed sites are adjacent to the current 8 x 97.5m turbines at Knabs Ridge. Hampsthwaite Parish Council have raised concerns about the visual impact of erecting more wind turbines on Pennypot Ridge between the Army Foundation College and the existing Knabs Ridge windfarm. See below for full details of the proposals.

The Hampsthwaite Village Feast committee has been able to secure marquees, staging, catering equipment, lighting and sound systems. To assist towards funding the maintenance and continued development of these resources, the equipment may, at the discretion of the Feast Committee, be hired to locally based events.

Feast Construction projects

The Feast Group is proud of its record of self-help in the design and construction of resources, both to the benefit of the Feast and to the village community. We are grateful for the generous support of residents who give freely of their time and expertise whenever the need arises.
