Community Engagement Events

Minehead Town Council is pleased to continue its Community Engagement Events—informal drop-in sessions, not council meetings—that offer residents the chance to connect directly with councillors and others working to support the community.
These events are designed to be friendly and relaxed, providing a welcoming space where residents can ask questions, share their thoughts, and learn more about how the Town Council works. They’re also a great way to find out about local organisations and community groups that may also be in attendance.
Whether you have a specific issue you'd like to raise, want to get involved in local matters, or are simply curious about how the Council supports the town, these sessions are open to all. With councillor vacancies currently available, it’s also an ideal opportunity to talk to current councillors about what the role involves.
Following feedback from attendees at last year’s engagement events, we’ve made some changes to improve accessibility and consistency. For 2025–26, all Community Engagement Events will take place on selected Tuesday evenings from 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm. This fixed schedule was chosen to better suit residents’ availability and provide more predictability.

Light refreshments will be available at each event to help create a relaxed, informal atmosphere.
Minehead Town Council looks forward to welcoming you to one of these sessions, hearing your views, and continuing to build strong connections within our community.
