Few things are as rewarding as looking around the audience at one of our live events and seeing the sheer delight and pleasure everyone is having from being part of a small group enjoying a professional performance with like minded neighbours and others from nearby communities.
Every two or three months we bring professional live entertainment to the hall - sometimes it’s music, sometimes comedy and sometimes theatre. Occasionally it’s a mixture of all three. In the summer we bring a theatrical touring troop to the village to perform at the Cricket Ground and it’s an occasion for the community to get together with their picnics and families to watch a play or musical of national standards.
From time to time we put on other live activities from art exhibitions and photo competitions to wine tasting. There’s something for everyone and we are always open to new ideas.
