The 'ghost village' of Imber, near Warminster in Wiltshire, was commandeered by the army in World War II for training purposes with the promise that residents could move back after the war. That never happened and now the village is only open for a few days every year when the army are not active on Salisbury Plain.

This year the Imber range roads will open to the public from Warminster to Gore Cross and from Bratton to Heytesbury from 12 noon on Friday 22nd December to 8am on Tuesday 2nd January. For information on access please contact the MoD at Westdown Camp on 01980 674679.

REMEMBERANCE SERVICE
On Saturday 23rd December at 11am the Royal British Legion and the vicar
of Eddington will conduct a postponed rememberance day service since the
range was closed in early November.

PEACE VIGIL
This year's Peace Vigil will take place on Sunday 31st December at
midday when there will be a gathering for meditation and prayer. Imber
will be used as a place to build for peace rather than train for warfare
- without antagonising the army.
