Brailes Village Hall, Pavilion and Play Area Report November 2025
Have you had a go yet! Yes the new slide in now up and looking great and the kids are making good use of it. Well done to Katie Haycock and her Fund-Raising team for completing this project. Thank you to the Free School Foundation, The Forge Garage, Brailes Show and all those that helped and supported the fund-raising activities that made this possible.
The Hall, Pavilion and Play area were very grateful to receive substantial donations from this years Brailes Show. The Hall money will be put to good use to replace the curtains. Susan is having fun with curtain samples and colours!
It is 20 years since Deirdre Carney, a long time Committee member, came to us with the idea of a Rural Cinema and it has been going strong ever since. A varied and eclectic mix of films have been shown over the years, from 1940’s black and white to the modern day block busters. We are grateful to Deirdre and her team for bringing these monthly showings to the Hall for everyone to enjoy. Please keep supporting so it can carry on. November’s film on Friday 14th is “Maria Callas”
Dare we mention Christmas! The Play area’s next fund-raising event is a Family Christmas Show on Sunday 7th December in the Hall, 3.30pm. You can book on line at www.buytickets.at/stratfordtheatrecompany . Great fun for all the family. Refreshments and Christmas treat available
