Goodbye to Peldon Village Hall

Art on display when we say goodbye to Peldon Village HallGoodbye to Peldon Village Hall

Say hello to old friends and goodbye to an old hall (drink some coffee, tea, look at some art, buy a brick…)

We are sad and happy to announce the last ever coffee morning in the current Peldon Village Hall. The demolition is scheduled this year with final plans nearing agreement for the new building.

Come along on Saturday 17th September and mix with the community (we all loved it last time, didn’t we?) see some art from a local artist (Wesley Arch, image above) along with photos of the hall from its 50 amazing years!

Tell your friends, spread the word!
