Loughton Community Day Saturday 19 September 2026 A Celebration of Community Spirit
Loughton once again shone brightly as residents, visitors, and local organisations came together for the fourth Loughton Community Day – a true celebration of everything that makes our town so special.
Thanks to the incredible support from community groups, charities, local organisations, and the public, the day was a resounding success. We are especially grateful to Loughton Cricket Club for hosting this Loughton Town Council event, providing the perfect setting for a vibrant and memorable day.
There was something for everyone – from a wide range of community and charity stalls to delicious food options that kept everyone well-fed and happy. The 41st Loughton Scouts served up a delicious BBQ, and tea tent, and Nanno Pizza served their delicious pizzas. Performances from Bloom Choir, Young Folkies, Strictly Dancing & Dining, dance troupe from Oakwood Hill, Bollywood Dance from Loughton Leisure Centre and Punch & Judy were all major crowd-pleasers.
A special thank you goes to the Loughton Wombles, who were out in full force keeping the cricket ground clean and litter-free throughout the day.
We would also like to express our sincere thanks to Daniel Robinson & Sons, Church Hill, and RCH Care Home for their generous donations and sponsorship, which helped make the event possible.
The true aim of the event – to bring our community together, to raise awareness of the incredible work done by local groups, and to inspire greater engagement and membership – was clearly achieved. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and full of the community spirit that defines Loughton.
The feedback from attendees, stallholders, and volunteers has been overwhelmingly
positive, and we’re delighted to hear that so many are already looking forward to next year’s event.
Loughton Community Day is more than just a day out – it's a reflection of the pride, unity, and generosity that make our town such a wonderful place to live.
Members of the community were invited to join in a Bollywood dance performance - one of the highlights of the day!
