Village Hall – Monks Kirby Parish Council

Monks Kirby Village Hall

Monks Kirby Village Hall

Here in Monks Kirby, we are extremely proud of our village hall. Over the last few years we have worked hard to raise funds and with the support of volunteers have done incredible work to improve the village hall so it is a warm, welcoming and functional space for our community to use. It has been lovely to see so many locals using the hall for a wide range of private events as well as it hosting classes and groups.

We have a lively and hard working group of volunteers who form our Village Hall Committee and are always keen to welcome new members.
If you are interested in joining the Village Hall Committee or have any ideas for clubs and events please contact any of the committee members listed below or email mkvillagehallbookings@gmail.com

Events

VE Day

This year marks the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe, a moment in history that shaped our lives today. To mark the occasion the Parish Council has generously funded large poppies to decorate the village and a silhouette of the ‘unknown soldier’ for display by the oak trees. The village hall committee will be putting up bunting and hosting 40s themed tea and cakes in the village hall on Monday 5th May 3.00-5.00pm. There will be no charge, and any donations will be passed onto the Royal British Legion. A pay bar will also be open

We are encouraging villagers to join in by putting up bunting and decorations, maybe even dress in 40’s style, as a means of remembering the service and sacrifice of those who defended the freedoms we enjoy today.

Thank you to everyone who participated in our recent online poll about future events in the village hall, it was really helpful. We are in the process of planning the some of the events that proved most popular and hope to get some dates out to you soon.

Village Hall News

Following on from the refurbishment of our hall we would like to thank the Parish Council for a grant towards some fabulous new tables and chairs. The new chairs are certainly more comfortable than our old plastic ones. Feedback on the new furniture has been really positive.

Thank you to all of those who contribute to the village hall in many ways. whether it’s taking care of the garden, putting out the bins, filling the dog bowl, doing repairs, watering the hanging baskets, delivering flyers and many more important tasks. You know who you are and we couldn’t do it without you.

Our Monks Kirby 200 Club is an important and regular source of income for our village hall and we are lucky that it is generally well supported by our local community.

However from time to time we have some numbers that are unsold, so if you don’t have a number and would like support our village hall or already have a number but would be happy to have another ..
