A number of exciting events are taking place in the village this year.  At the heart of these events is the village hall.

The Trustees of this wonderful village facility are looking for volunteers and sponsors to give the outside of the hall a ‘makeover’ by tidying up the flower borders and re planting where necessary.

Interested in giving us a helping hand?
