The village has a strong community spirit and the lockdown has brought people even closer together.
There is an active WI group, best-kept garden competition and a flower festival, which villagers hope will take place on the August Bank Holiday this year. The Yelling Beer Festival takes place on the first May bank holiday and is always well attended by locals and visitors.This is run by Yelling Social Club, which and in normal times is open on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evenings. During pandemic, over the last 11 months, the Yelling Social Club has organised take-away beer and raised more than £3,000 for charities including the East Anglia Air Ambulance, Magpas and the village church, to name a few, said Sanchia Ascroft who lives in Yelling.
