Piddington Village Hall
Events
Coronavirus outbreak
In the light of the latest government advice to avoid non-essential contact, the Village Hall Committee have reluctantly decided to close the hall to all bookings until further notice.
The opening ceremony of the new play area and Easter Egg hunt on 4th April are therefore cancelled. However, the fencing will be taken down and the play area will be available for children to use from this date.
The planned VE celebrations are postponed. If considered safe to do so, they may be held in mid-August as Saturday 15th August is VJ day.
Pop-Up Pubs are suspended, as are Book Swap Coffee Mornings. The Bake Off and Quiz Night scheduled for June/July are unlikely to go ahead.
The leaders of groups who have regular bookings have been asked to inform their members.
We are sorry that we have had to take this action, but it could save life. We will of course be monitoring the ongoing situation and the hall will open again when it is safe to do so.

The Piddington Pop-Up Pub is open regularly on the last Friday of every month unless otherwise advertised.
Please drop in, have a drink and a chat or a game or two, and shake off the cares of the week. If you haven't been to a pop-up pub before, why not give it a go. If you're new to the village, it's a great way to get to know people, and if you're not, it's a good way to catch up with your neighbours. And if you think you'll just see the same few old codgers who seem to turn up for everything, you'll be surprised! Lots of new people have moved into the village in the last year or so, and many of them regularly drop in to the pop-up pub. Whether you pop in for a quick snifter or an evening of darts, you'll be very welcome. The Book Swap Coffee Morning happens regularly in the village hall - usually on the third Thursday of the month. It was started by the Pantry team in March 2019, and has been running successfully since then.
The coffee and refreshments are free, courtesy of The Pantry, and, in addition to books brought to the coffee morning on the day, there are books donated by villagers and other users of the hall, so the stock is constantly refreshed. If you're around and fancy a break, drop into the next Book Swap Coffee Morning. |

Be part of your community
Do come to one of the events held in the village hall. If you're new to the village, they're a good way of meeting your neighbours, and if you're a seasoned Piddingtonian, you'll probably know that they're a welcome place to meet up with friends and catch up with the gossip. Activities are usually well advertised on the village noticeboards, in Parish Matters magazine, on this website and on the Piddington Facebook page.
And if you have any ideas or suggestions for activities you'd like to see put on in the village hall, please let one of the Management Committee know. The village hall belongs to everyone in Piddington, so please tell us how you'd like to see it being used.
