Iwade Tours has been formally recognised with a KALC Community Award for its exceptional service to the residents of Iwade. The nomination was submitted by Iwade Parish Council, and the award was presented on 8 April by the High Sheriff of Kent.

Iwade Tours has become one of the village’s valued community initiatives. By offering residents the opportunity to travel together and share memorable experiences, the team has created far more than a programme of outings. Through exceptional organisation, dedication, and a genuine passion for bringing people together, they have fostered friendship, inclusion, and a strong sense of belonging.

The award acknowledges the dedication of Alan, Liz, and Matt who run Iwade Tours and highlights the positive impact their work continues to have on residents. Their efforts have contributed significantly to building a more connected and supportive village community.

As we say goodbye to the Hoods who are closing the doors of the Woolpack on 24th May 2026 we asked what happens next. Apparently the pub will be shut for a while but will then be reopened by the brewery Punch. Whether this is permanent or a temporary solution we are not sure. Watch this space to find out more.

Ali and the Woolpack team would like to thank all old & new customers that have supported them through the years and invite you to their leaving party on 22nd May 2026 from 4pm with live music - a final fairwell party - in the IWADE WHATS ON.

Iwade Tours are a non-profit making village-run organisation, with a simple mission: bringing villagers, their family and friends together for comfortable, enjoyable, and worry-free outings. And they add a few luxuries along the way.

A recent tour to Essex enjoyed by Erika and Faye included a stop at Thaxted to see the church where Gustav Holst played the organ and other historical buildings. It also passed through the beautiful Essex Rodings before visiting the Lodge Family Coach Museum for lunch and a ride on a vintage coach.

The organisers Elizabeth and Matthew join every trip and make everyone feel looked after as well as making sure that everything runs smoothly. Visits are well planned with a good balance of beautiful scenery and fascinating history.

There is a wide range of complimentary hot and cold drinks and snacks on offer onboard and the Tour Guides are entertaining and full of interesting tales about the places visited.

You can find Iwade Tours dates and trips in the IwadeVillage WHATS ON and get in touch to get booked on! Erika and Faye highly recommend!
