New Chilham Leaflet Launched
The Chilham Tourism & Retailers Group based in the Kentish village have recently completed a new edition of the popular "Enjoy Chilham" destination leaflet. With help from Hidden Britain the group of businesses and volunteers continues to work hard to put Chilham on the map and ensure the local community benefits from the visitors that come.

Hidden Britain at Bleriot 2009
The 25th and 26th July saw the centenary celebrations of Louis Bleriot's historic first channel crossing down in Dover. Some 30,000 people came to see a series of flying demonstartions and the arrival of a restored original Bleriot XI plane from France.
Hidden Britain was there too helping showcase the great village and rural town destinations across Kent. The Seeda and Kent Rural Towns sponsored stand featured the villages of Chilham, Elham and St. Margaret's, alongside larger destinations like Hawkhurst, Edenbridge, Westerham, Sandwich and Tenterden.

Competition opportunity for rural communities
The BBC and BIG Lottery Fund have launched a competition to find six villages in the UK with a great business idea. The Village SOS competition will choose the villages that come up with the best ideas for an enterprise that will benefit the community and provide funding up to £400,000 and a mentor for a year.
Villages need to apply by 14th August and will be filmed throughout the process. If you’re interested and have a tourism or other enterprise idea that might benefit, find out more at the website below.
