Brailes Village Hall, Pavilion and Play Area Report May 2026
May is our AGM month and no jokes, we do need your help! We would love it if some lovely new faces or even familiar ones from the Village would come along and offer to help swell our small friendly Committee so that we can continue the work keeping the Village Hall, Pavilion and Play Area open and thriving. Every offer of help is gratefully received so we look forward to seeing you on Thursday 28th May at 7pm in the Village Hall – FREE TEA/COFFEE AND BISCUITS! Now there is an offer you can’t refuse! 😊.
Before that there is the annual Three Hills Walk on Monday 4th May. Sadly, no caravans joining us on the field this year but we hope to see the rest of you taking part and enjoying the wonderful views from the top of Brailes Hills, Castle Hill and Mines Hill and then back at the Hall for refreshments and a well-earned drink. If you can help with any of the numerous jobs that make this event so successful, please contact Ben Venables email: be*@******il.com. Funds raised go to Brailes School, the Pavilion and other worthy causes.
Just before the Walk on Saturday 2nd May St Georges Church will be holding their Spring Market at the Village Hall 10 to 12 noon with lots of stalls to tempt you. Entrance is £2 to include unlimited tea, coffee and biscuits.
Congratulations to Brailes Brownies who are celebrating their 70th Birthday this year and will be marking the occasion with an Afternoon Tea Party in the Village Hall on Saturday 16th May 2.30 to 4.30pm . All welcome.
Susan Gilkes reported that the Ladies in Pink Race night in March was a great success and raised over £1,400 for Cancer Research. It was a great night with the usual yummy Fish & Chips. Well done Ladies in Pink.
Sometimes there are events on the Playing Field which limit general use temporarily. We are sorry for any inconvenience at these times, but all these bookings help fund the Hall, Pavilion and Play Area.
Lots of our regular classes that already run at the hall are always happy to welcome new members so if you are interested in Yoga, Zumba, Pilates, Pickleball, Fitsteps or Thai Chi 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.
Lovely to see the sunshine lately which reminds us that it won’t be long until Brailes Show so now is the time to get growing, making, painting and planning and hopefully getting 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. The Pavilion Sub-Committee are planning a summer event to hopefully add to this. Please look out for updates. Thank you.
Please do get in touch if you would like to book an event at the Hall or Pavilion. Please do not hesitate to give Lisa a call if you would like any further details or have an enquiry. https://braileshallandpavilion.co.uk
