Special arrangements for hall use
The village hall is now open for some classes and meetings with additional safety measures in place.
Keeping our hall users and community safe is our primary concern. We are following the latest government guidelines and will update requirements in line with changes. Guidance, recommendations and additional booking terms and conditions are all detailed in the section below.
The Village Hall Committee have completed their own risk assessment for reopening the hall. Please contact the committee if you require a copy.

FACE COVERINGS / MASKS
In England, face coverings are no longer required by law. Community centres, including village halls are included in the list of indoor places where the government suggests that you continue to wear a face covering, when coming into contact with other people you do not normally meet.
You do not have to wear face coverings when consuming food or drinks in the village hall, or if you're taking part in exercise. Nevertheless for normal activities like attending a meeting or watching a film in the hall, face coverings are currently recommended.
Please note, children under age eleven do not have to wear face coverings and there a number of specific circumstances where people are also exempt. Please refer to the government guidance for further details:
