Bawdeswell Village Hall

Welcome

How are you all keeping. I don’t know about you but I’m getting a bit cheesed off with all this wet weather. But it is winter after all so we can’t expect too much eh. Spring however is just around the corner as the snow drops are coming out everywhere and what a lovely welcome sight they are too.

Onto some hall news. On the 19th Feb we have a lady, Gloria, coming to the hall with a free taster session on the ancient Chinese system of exercise known as Tai Chi & Qigong. See the information below. I think if it proves successful it will become a regular class so keep watching the events page. Or better still come along to the session and ask Gloria yourself. The film this month on the 14th is “Four Mothers” see the cinema page for full details.

Here’s some advance notice of events coming up during the year. The trustees and volunteers will be putting on another community get together in July so keep an eye on the events page for details nearer the time. Also in April on the 25th there is the annual MODEL RAILWAY EXHIBITION put on by the 32a Model Railway Club. I have to say this is one for me being a keen railway modeller and I shall have an exhibit at the show. See the events page for details of prices and times.

Also, the Friends of Bawdeswell Church are having a Gala Bingo night on the 21st March. Everyone welcome. See events page for more details.

Now for some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that due to outside influences and I’m sure you know what I mean, we are having to increase our hire rates from the 1st April 2026. Now I know what you are thinking, what on earth could the good news be. Well, the good news is that we are able to keep the increase to only 5%. You can see the new rates here on the bookings page.

Well that’s about all for now. Don’t forget our regular Tuesday Coffee Hub and the once a month Soup & Puds.

The Hall is a place for the community to be proud of. Careful thought has gone into creating a space which is flexible, welcoming and practical. With various rooms available for hire and modern facilities throughout, the Hall is a venue where local clubs and societies can meet and where special events and celebrations, both public and private, can take place. It is also a space for local businesses to use for meetings, to showcase their services and to interact with the community of Bawdeswell and the surrounding villages.
