Voices of Houlton - Episode 6. 🎙️

Sonia, Houlton's Communications, Communities and Partnerships Manager, shares why this place is so much more than just buying a home.

With 2026 marking 100 years since the world's most powerful radio station first opened its doors right here, there really is no better time to hear what makes Houlton so special.

Did you know The Barn is available to hire right here in Houlton? ✔️

Over the years, it's been home to everything from yoga and pilates classes to craft groups, community meetings and family celebrations!

Located at Dollman Farm, it is a flexible community space that can accommodate up to 60 people theatre style or 50 people cabaret style. We'd love to see even more groups and activities making use of it!

One week on and we're still smiling. 🥳

What a day the Houlton Family Fun Day was. Thank you to every single person who came along, got involved and made it so fantastic!

A huge thank you to the incredible Houlton Events Team who put months of work into making the day happen, to our amazing community groups and volunteers and to every resident who came out in the sunshine to join us!

Funds raised on the day went to Back and Forth - Men’s Mental Health. Thank you for supporting something that really matters.

See you next year💛

A brand new Multi Use Games Area is planned for Houlton👀

As Houlton continues to grow, so do the spaces and facilities that support our community. 🙌

What's particularly exciting about this project is that it has been shaped by the people who'll use it most. Last year, students from Houlton School worked alongside the Houlton Communities Team and Jupiter Play to share their ideas and help design a space that feels fun, inclusive and welcoming for different ages and interests.

Planned for a location opposite Houlton's much loved play park, the new area will create even more opportunities for young people to be active, socialise and spend time together.

We're looking forward to sharing more as the project progresses. For more information head over to our community app: https://my.houltonrugby.co.uk/updates/new-addition-to-houlton-multiuse-games-area-designed-by-houlton-school-students-planned-for-houlton/

It's nearly time for one of our favourite days of the year!🥳

The Houlton Family Fun Day returns this Saturday! The weather is looking warm, so please come prepared to make the most of the day.☀️

✔️⁠Bring a water bottle and keep hydrated throughout the day
✔️Apply sun cream before you arrive and top it up regularly
✔️⁠Hats, sunglasses and lightweight clothing are a great idea
✔️⁠Take breaks when you need to
✔️ ⁠Please keep an extra eye on little ones, who can get hot much more quickly than adults

This day is sure to be lots of fun, but we also want everyone to stay safe and comfortable while enjoying themselves.

Remember this year, funds raised will support Back and Forth - Men’s Mental Health helping to support important conversations and connections within our local community 💙

A huge thank you to the amazing Houlton Events Team who make it all possible. Book your tickets here: http://bit.ly/4fF2MIm

Voices of Houlton – Episode 5 🎙️

Elly, Houlton's Community Development Lead, shares how the legacy of Rugby Radio Station still shapes everyday life here at Houlton.

From messages sent to Mars to its role during the war effort, this episode explores some of the stories many people don’t realise happened right here in Rugby and how that history continues to influence the community today.

It’s a really lovely insight into why preserving the story of Rugby Radio Station matters so much to us here Houlton.
