Building works

During the first part of 2026 we will be focusing on building works to improve the Hall. These will include ceiling repairs, installing a toilet and kitchen, installing a chair-lift and redecoration of the stairway. During this time our landlord, the Coop, is also due to be carrying out repairs to the bellcote which is leaking. Works should be completed by the summer when we will be able to present a full programme of events.
