Tesco tokens wanted

Welcome to Goldhanger

If you live in (or near) Goldhanger you will have gathered by now that the village is on a fundraising mission to make long overdue improvements to Goldhanger Village Hall. During January and February we are part of Tesco's Bags of Help blue token scheme in-store at Tesco Maldon, Tesco Express Danbury and Tesco Express Burnham. Please put as many tokens in Goldhanger Village Hall's compartment as you can. Tell all your friends as well. Why not print out the picture to the left and put it in your window (click it for a larger version)? Thank you for your support.

Explore our site for all your local information and events. Find out how to get here, what the tide's doing (what it's done for countless millenia I suppose), and what the weather may or may not be like when you visit.

Take a look at Goldhanger's lovely little Parish Magazine while you're here. It's delivered free to everyone in Goldhanger and is also available for download in glorious technicolour around the beginning of each month.

Getting here and being here

The 95 bus runs between Tollesbury and Maldon and back again. In Goldhanger there are bus stops in Head Street, Church Street, and the village square. Buses don't run that often, so best check the timetable otherwise you'll be left standing.

SatNav will often take you to Church Street in Tollesbury or in Maldon (yes, they each have one - it's happened before). It gives the locals something to laugh about. You're probably better off resorting to FlatNav - - or you can find a helpful map here.

We're tidal here you know, which means a lot of water goes in and out of the estuary ... twice a day mostly. The tide timetable will help keep you safe as well as tell you when the water's up for a good photo opportunity.

There are no car parks in Goldhanger. Please don't park like a twat when you get here. We have a bus through the village and it needs room to pass and to stop. Be considerate of the people who live here and don't park in the bus stop or on junctions.
