There is a pub (The Fox), a post office (open Monday/Wednesday/Friday in the mornings and based in the village hall), Methodist chapel, bowling alley, and a playing field (including skate park).

The National Cycle Network runs through the village on its way to the Severn Bridge by which it is possible to enter Wales on foot or bicycle.

The main road through the village is closed and the carnival procession finishes on the playing field where the floats are judged and various entertainments and stalls are available.

The village also puts on a large fireworks display on 5 November to mark Guy Fawkes Night.

Bristol Zoo is planning to open a large zoological and adventure park in woodland which it owns adjacent to Blackhorse Hill.
