02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
To provide an affordable venue for community activities. A number of Clubs use the Hall on a regular basis and it remains a popular choice with the community for private functions. We organise a number of events throughout the year, including musical events, a regular monthly quiz, craft and plant sales. This year we held a Battle of the Bands competition which was very well attended and it has been decided that we make this an annual event. We already have bookings for 2026 and a number of events are scheduled for the coming year.
