The annual village open day is known as Blossoms & Bygones, a name given to it by Lorna Delanoy of the Farmland Museum, which was once the village's main tourist attraction until its relocation to Denny Abbey. Blossoms & Bygones now also includes the neighbouring hamlet of Aldreth. Features of the day include tractor rides around the village, tours of the windmill and the orchards, vintage car and tractor displays, while many residents throw open their gardens to visitors. Blossoms & Bygones celebrated its 40th Anniversary in 2011 with a VE Day theme, that saw the villagers dress up as if it was 1940.[1]
Haddenham has several shops situated in the High Street, two public Houses (The Three Kings and The Cherry Tree), a beauty salon and a thriving village hall known as the Arkenstall Centre.
