Lurgashall Post Office is a community branch offering a wide variety of services. Save yourself a car journey into town to your high street bank or post office, just take a look below at the extensive range of services available here in Lurgashall.

Currently we are open every weekday morning.  Last collection is 4.30 pm weekdays and 9.30 am on Saturday.

Your custom and support will safeguard the future of the village Post Office and with enough regular trade we hope to further extend the Post Office opening hours in the near future.

There has been a village shop in Lurgashall for almost 200 years. The first official record dates from 1841 listing shopkeepers Mary and James Chalwin with post office services introduced in 1851. The 1871 census names the Farthing family as new shopkeepers and they continued to manage the shop through the generations until the early 1930’s. During the remainder of 20th century the shop changed hands many times and in 2001 was taken on by Pam & Martin Forey until their retirement.

In 2017, the community and village residents, concerned that the shop would close, formed an action group dedicated to saving and re-launching the shop as a community shop. Signing a rental lease with the support of the new owners Susan and Ralph Tucker, the community shop was opened on 5th March 2018. With financial support from local and national grant providers, the shop underwent a full refurbishment in February 2020. There have been many challenges but Lurgashall Village Shop & Post Office is testament to the dedication, determination and hard work of volunteers supported by the community and loyal customers. The shop is now at the heart and focal point of our village and employs three talented and enthusiastic members of staff supported daily by a team of volunteers.
