Brailes Village Hall, Pavilion and Play Area Report March 2026
Sorry for the belated Happy New Year. Hope you all are well and looking forward to Spring. Fed up with just rain now, please stop! Hopefully you all managed to get along to the Hall and see “Camelot the Panto”, looking forward to the pictures. Remy who has overseen all things Panto is sadly leaving the Village so we wish him well back in France and thank you for a great show.
Hopefully by the time you read this the Hall will be looking all posh with our new curtains in the Main Hall. And fingers crossed you all approve of the colour. A hard decision to make so well done to our Chair Susan Gilkes for the difficult decision (with input from some indecisive committee members 😊). We are also applying for grants to improve the kitchen. So with the help of Selina Hosell, who is kindly working her magic with the grant application, we have our fingers crossed.
The 2026 diary is starting to fill up but if you would like to book, please do get in touch with Lisa. We still have spaces for regular weekly or monthly classes in both the Hall and Pavilion especially on a Monday. So if you are thinking of starting a class or group please do give us call or drop us an email, we would be happy to discuss your requirements.
Lots of our regular classes that already run at the hall are always happy to welcome new members so if Yoga, Zumba, Pilates, Pickleball, Fitsteps or Thai chi are your new year thing please do get in touch and Lisa will put you in contact with the group leaders. Also, there is a monthly Art Class in the Pavilion for those with an artistic flair.
There are also plenty of events to attend: Brailes Picturehouse is showing The Penguin Lessons on the 14thMarch, Ladies in Pink Race Night (details below) on 28th March , Brailes Brownies Coffee morning on Saturday 18th April and lost more that I am sure will be detailed in the rest of the Feldon.
Back by popular demand is The Ladies in Pink Race Night with yummy Fish & Chip supper on Saturday 28thMarch so look out for tickets from Susan Gilkes email: fi**********@********et.com. Proceeds go to Cancer Research
Please we aware that the car park will NOT be available to general parking including for school drop off and pick up on Friday 20th March to Sunday 22nd March. Sorry for any inconvenience.
One of the biggest Village fund raisers is Brailes Show so if you haven’t already go involved in this amazing event please get in touch with Katie Haycock email: ka***************@*****il.com. Katie is also our fund raiser for the Play Area improvements and the next goal (excuse the pun) are permanent goal posts and nets so please do get in touch if you are able to help. Thank you.
