East Garston has a busy community life for a village of a few hundred people. The village hall, social club and cricket club all play their part, the bellringers at All Saints were re-formed in 1998, and the Garston Gallopers, a mixed Morris side in purple and green, are based here. The Queens Arms, which also has rooms, is the village pub. Primary-age children attend the Chaddleworth St Andrew's and Shefford CofE Federated Primary Schools, and John O'Gaunt School in Hungerford is a nearby secondary. Great Shefford has a combined shop and post office, and Hungerford and Newbury provide supermarkets and wider choice.
The River Lambourn, a chalk stream fed by springs from the chalk, flows through the heart of the village and separates many houses from the main road, so each one has its own bridge to the front door. The village was known by its Saxon name, Argeston, until the end of the 19th century, and All Saints, a flint-built church dating back to the 12th century, is Grade II* listed. Cottages, period homes and farmhouses make up much of the housing, with around 226 homes in the parish in all. Downland rises to the north and south, including East Garston Down, and public footpaths lead up from the valley floor onto the open downs.
East Garston lies in racing country and is well placed for road links: the A338 at nearby Great Shefford leads south to Hungerford and junction 14 of the M4, and north to Wantage. There has been no station in the village since the Lambourn Valley Railway closed. Hungerford station has a few direct weekday peak trains to London Paddington, Newbury has an hourly semi-fast service from Monday to Saturday, and Reading Buses route 4 links the valley with Newbury and Lambourn.
