Village Halls Week events

🎉 This year’s Village Halls Week is a just around the corner 🎉

It is a chance to celebrate the many trustees who run our village halls and THANK THEM! for all the hard work that they do to keep our halls going on a daily basis and improve them for future use.
We’re putting on two events as part of #villagehallsweek Join us!

Tuesday 18th March 2.30-4.30pm at the Stewart Hall Brightwell Cum-Sotwell in South Oxfordshire
You will hear about the large refurbishment project that the trustees are embarking on, followed by some tips and ideas on how to attract new volunteers to your hall committee from Tessa Hall from Community First. After this there will be a chance to chat with volunteers from other halls over cups of tea and delicious locally made cake. If you fancy it you could visit the lovely community shop behind the hall too.

You can build a website for your hall with ‘Hugo Fox’ a leading provider of community websites, this event is free and is from 10.30 am until 12 noon. There are still a few available spaces.
A celebratory buffet lunch will take place at Duns Tew hall from 1.00pm until 2.30pm. The wonderful Middle Eastern food will be provided by the DAMASCAS ROSE KITCHEN, a community enterprise supporting refugee women in our community https://damascusrosekitchen.org/
