Special Film Screening – Rudy 12a Saturday January 13th £5. (*Under 18s £1) Doors 7:00pm, Start 7:30pm

We are hosting a screening by Beluga Two Films, followed by a discussion with the writer/director of this delightful film. Shot in Warwickshire and Coventry, Rudy (108 mins running time) is a poignant insight into love, loss and moving on, set in the heart of rural England. All proceeds towards the running of the Village Hall. If you are interested in seeing more films being shown at the Village Hall please come along and support this event *Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult.

Village Craft Fayre and Remembrance.
We were delighted to be able to co-host both the Village Craft Fayre for the Friends of St. Catharine’s and the annual Remembrance Day events at the Village Hall. These are major village events and it was heartening to see them returned to their full scale this year.

Upcoming AGM

In early Spring 2024 the Trustees and management team will hold their Annual General Meeting, as always the public are warmly invited to attend. This will be an important meeting for the hall, as always, but this time we will be asking for your views on the future shape of the hall. We face a number of challenges and choices and we need your views on how to meet them. Look out for more on this in the New Year.

Happy Christmas and New Year
It’s great to see the hall being booked up for festive events, and the free Community Coffee morning will continue throughout the year, every Friday from 10am to noon. We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported the hall in 2023, our customers and volunteers and on behalf of the Trustees and management team wish you all a very happy Christmas and New Year.
