Bredfield Village Hall News

The Annual General Meeting will take place on

Friday 16 April 2020 at 7pm via a Zoom Meeting

Bredfield Village Hall was built by the community for the community and is a vital asset for Bredfield. The Village Hall Committee not only looks after the Hall and Field Room but also the Playing Field, Tennis Courts and Play Area. It is important that as many people as possible from the village are involved in the management, maintenance and development of this site.

Why not come along and find out more – perhaps you can help with maintenance, building projects or would like to become a trustee.

If you are interested in attending this meeting please join us on Zoom by contacting Stephen Cook - treasurer@bredfieldvillagehall.org.uk for the password etc.

 Coronavirus Update - March 2021 

The use of Bredfield Village Hall and Playing Field is restricted by the need to follow the Government's 'COVID-19 Response - Spring 2021', setting out the roadmap out of the current lockdown for England.

Under the current timetable it is hoped to open the Tennis Courts on Monday 29 March.

The Treasurer will be contacting households that have previously paid for annual use.  If you wish to be added to the list please let us know via the Tennis Courts Link page.

The Hall has adopted Special Conditions of Hire during Covid-19 in line with the guidance issued nationally to all village halls.  The current Special Conditions can be seen alongside the standard conditions on the Bookings page.

All hires are required to agree to follow the Special Conditions before a hire can be accepted. 

Hirers must carry out their own risk assessment to determine if additional measures are needed at their event or activity.

If you are interested in hiring the hall at a future date you should contact the Bookings Secretary via the Booking/Enquiry form on the Bookings page.
