Project Progress
Welcome to our Village Hall project page, where you can follow every step of our exciting journey as we transform this much-loved community space. Here, we’ll be sharing regular updates on the extension and renovation works, so you can stay fully informed as things progress. The plans include a brand-new, modern kitchen within the extension, improved and relocated toilet facilities, and a refreshed main hall complete with restored flooring and insulation for year-round comfort. We’ll also be installing new AV equipment to support events and activities, alongside renewing some of the electrics and carrying out essential drainage repairs. It’s a big step forward for our village, and we’re delighted to bring everyone along as the hall evolves into an even more welcoming and versatile hub for the whole community.

We’re delighted to share the news that the building contract was officially signed today, marking a major milestone for the project. The work will be carried out by Ackroyd Construction, with ground works scheduled to begin on May 26th. For safety reasons, there will be no general access to the site once work is underway. However, we hope to arrange occasional supervised group visits for those who would like to see the progress firsthand—more details on these will be shared as the project moves forward.
Today also marked another step in the project, with the delivery of a large storage container to the village hall site. This will be used to safely store all the furniture and equipment that needs to be cleared out before building work begins, helping us keep everything organised and protected during the renovation. In the coming days, we’ll be asking for volunteers from the community to lend a hand with moving items into storage—so if you’re able to help, we’d love your support as we get things ready for the next stage of this exciting transformation.
