Our Hall is a registered charity run for the benefit of our friendly cluster of East Devon hamlets by a committed group of voluntary Trustees and other volunteers.

 

Our purpose is to provide a hall for community activities, including education classes, yoga, craft sessions, pantomimes, concerts, other social events and special fundraising activities.

 

 Our fundraising quest continues – there is always something in need of repair, rejuvenation or replacement.

 

Our recent fundraising efforts have focused on installing a new bar, repainting the hall inside and out and creating a new inclusive loo.  Thank you so much to everyone who supported our fundraising events. 

​

We always need to raise funds to keep our hall as affordable to hire as possible and save up for those major improvements that will be needed in the future.

 

This year we need to refinish the hall floor and remark the car park. 

​

50 years ago – everybody in every household of our parish was part of an epic effort to build our village hall from scratch. Digging Foundations, laying bricks and tiling the roof. Rain or shine, villagers could be seen measuring up, scratching heads and flexing muscle. In order to create our vital social nucleus – no job was too arduous, no fundraising stone was unturned - discos and cross-dressing were the order of the day.  Everyone concerned can be immensely proud that our hall is as popular now as ever, giving all of us an affordable, welcoming and accessible place to meet our friends and neighbours, make new friends and memories.

 

So what are we asking you to do? Follow in the footsteps of our forefathers by digging trenches for soil pipes, tarmac the car park or plaster the walls? No – but we are kindly asking you to get involved by supporting our events, making a donation or host an event of your own in aid of the hall all whilst having a good time.
