Social Media Help Wanted!

The Village Hall committee is looking for someone to run our social media.
It’s a voluntary role and not time-consuming, we just ask for around one post a week.

If you enjoy keeping people in the loop and have a knack for Facebook or Instagram, we’d love to hear from you!

Interested? Please get in touch with Bryan Clifford on 01608 682996.

On May 2nd and 3rd…

GSP follow up recent successes with Old Herbaceous, Three Men in a Boat, What's Wrong with Benny Hill and Dead on Cue with a new play about Sir John Falstaff…a rogue, a philanderer and a glutton, but also one of Shakespeare’s greatest and enduring comic creations. 

In this new comedy by Simon Downing we find Falstaff, played by Giles Shenton (Old Herbaceous & Three Men in a Boat) in his bedroom in the Boars Head being nursed by Mistress Quickly.

The creditors arrive demanding payment. Will Falstaff resort to marrying Mistress Quickly in order to pay off his debts? Will he turn teetotal? Will he mellow in his old age? Find out the answers to all these important questions that Shakespeare never bothered to answer and join Falstaff and Mistress Quickly for an evening of jollity, frivolity, a definite lack of coequality and more Shakespearean insults than ever previously heard on a theatrical stage!

The play originally opened in Feb 2020 with most touring dates cancelled due to Covid......but Falstaff is now ready to be unleashed upon the masses once again!

Dead on Cue - 12th to 15th March

Written & performed by Mark Carey
Mark Carey, writer of Into The Breach and What's Wrong with Benny Hill has teamed up with Giles Shenton, producer of Old Herbaceous, Three Men in a Boat, Fagin? and My Dog's Got No Nose to bring you a spooky thriller set in the same theatre dressing room, during the same play, at the same theatre, but 60 years apart.

During both time periods the theatre is hosting a performance of Hamlet where "time is out of joint." 

What is the unearthly link between the two productions?

How can the same things be happening to different people 60 yrs apart?

What secrets have been buried in the old dressing room under the stage?

Why are the actors fascinated by the old dressing room mirror?

Just don't look into it......you might not like what you see!

The stunning effects will have you believing that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

New Access Arrangements

To improve security at the village hall, we have replaced the key safe located at the main entrance. 

When you book you can choose whether to use the install once Masterlock app. or receive a temporary code to access the key. 

Regular users will continue to be allocated a key and a key will be held at the shop for emergency use

Changes to Payment of Heating and Kitchen Power

Are you fed up with having to find and feed the electricity meters at the village hall with £ coins?  Salvation has arrived.  The old coin meters have been replaced with a single meter using online payments.  Just scan the QR code and select the amount you wish to pay directly from your smart phone.  Both the meter display and the main hall heating switching are now located outside of the electrical equipment cupboard to make them easier and safer to use

We have also installed additional heating to the main hall in the form of a high powered air curtain.  The additional heating can be controlled locally and is intended to provide a quick warm up at the commencement of any hiring and until occupants are comfortable just using the main heating system
