Swing from Paris at Ilmington Village Hall

Thurs 13th November 7:30pm

Swing from Paris are an all-string jazz quartet of violin, guitars and double bass, inspired by the music of the 1930s, ’40s and '50s: from the cafés and cabarets of Montmartre to Artie Shaw, Django Reinhardt, Stéphane Grappelli and the master of tango Astor Piazzolla.
Known for their tight ensemble sound and virtuosic performances, the group brings a distinctive Parisian flair to vintage jazz and stylish swing. They have performed at major UK and European festivals including the renowned Django Reinhardt Festival at Samois-sur-Seine, and appearances range from BBC TV and radio to the French Embassy at Kensington Palace.

Tickets £18 in advance, £20 on the door

Fancy volunteering at this year’s Ilmington Show?

Any time you are able to volunteer will be greatly appreciated!

Repair Café

Could you be interested in joining a group of like minded people who enjoy repairing household items?  The village hall trustees are keen to provide an opportunity for the local community to repair and reuse household items rather than throw them away and buy new.  It saves money and helps reduce the impact of climate change.  It would need a small group of participants, at least one having experience in repairing electrical items, to meet periodically in a café environment at the village hall to provide advice and help to those in the village who are less able to repair household items.  To show interest please call Bryan on 07561 273978 and to learn more about how other communities do this listen to this podcast 

Trustee Vacancies

There are two vacancies as trustees of the Village Hall and members of its management committee.

The Hall is an important and well used centre for social events for the village community and surrounding areas. Currently there are 10 of a possible 12 members of the management committee and we would welcome interest from those who would like to help sustain and steer the future of this institution.

For an overview of what’s involved and how you might help, please call Bryan Clifford on 07561 273978
