The show begins with a colourful procession through the village. Benhall Green has a ford over the Fromus - which can be treacherous during heavy rains - and several protected wildlife sites, including the Wadd. The village also has a new wooden play area, swings and slides, a phone box, a noticeboard and St Mary's Benhall Primary school, which is now considered an excellent local school and rated highly by Ofsted - see http://www.ofsted.gov.uk/layout/set/print/oxedu_reports/download/(id)/113948/(as)/124721_340637.pdf.
