1The heritage:
This year our lovely vintage Village Hall will celebrate 90 years of hosting community events. Since opening its doors in 1934, there have been so many receptions, plays, meetings, dances and elections..and more, during the tenure of twenty Prime Ministers and the reign of five monarchs... most recently celebrating the Platinum Jubilee of Elizabeth II and the Coronation of Charles III.
The future:
Moving into a Centenary decade a bright future lies ahead. With Wi-Fi, Broadband and a new website we enter the modern world. Supper Clubs, Art Exhibitions, Cycle events, Quiz and Film Nights: rethinking the vintage village hall vibe whilst still enjoying the wonderful heritage of an original stage and sprung dancefloor.

Earl Soham Village Hall Renovation Fund:
Sensitive renovation of the original building is underway and fund-raising plans in place for an eco-friendly sustainable heating system and replica external doors to keep the heat in and the weather out ! Local company, Earl Soham Joinery Ltd. will craft three sets of replica doors to modern standards, replacing the ageing original doors that now threaten blow open with every puff of wind. Infra-red heating installed in the ceiling will ensure warmth and broaden the scope of groups and activities to use the Hall year round.
Fundraising is live ! See our new Crowdfunder project for Eco-friendly heating and replacement replica entrance doors.
Applying for grants and seeking donations is the task ahead. We are grateful to Adnam's Community Fund for a donation of £850.60 towards new doors, and Café-in-the-Kitchen continues to be a popular and successful fundraising iniative, running alongside a programme of events attracting a wider local audience. Join us for fresh coffee, teas and delicious home-made cakes at the next fundraising pop-up café.
