Every penny stays in the village

Support the hall

The roof has done a hundred years of service and is asking for its retirement. Help us replace it before the next big storm does it for us.

The Roof Appeal

Replacing the tiles, battens and guttering on the north pitch, plus the cupola that leaks every autumn.

Friends of the Hall

From £3 a month you become a Friend: your name on the board, early notice of event tickets and an invitation to the Friends' supper. Regular giving is what lets us plan.

Gifts in kind

We keep a wishlist of things the hall needs — an urn, folding tables, a strimmer, a morning of scaffolding. Sometimes the most useful gift is not money at all.

Give at the hall

Look for the QR posters in the porch, the village shop and on the fete stalls. Point your phone at one and you can give in about fifteen seconds.
