Many thanks to those who supported our beer festival on Saturday. The weather was kind and the beer was as usual excellent. In total the event raised over £1000 for Hall funds.
We are already planning next summers event which will include a “Gin Tent” and some new family activities.
We have 25 tables booked now selling items ranging from plants, crafts and bric-a-brac to pre loved items. Doors open from 10.00 am

The Christmas period was a busy one for events. The Christmas Countdown evening event was a massive success and raised £261.40. Many thanks to everyone who supported the event and to the nursery for providing all of the entertainment!
The village lights switch on raised a further £88.90 and we have received generous donations of £200 from Wilsden Walkers, £500 from Wilsden Gardening Association, £500 from Wilsden Community Library and a further £1000 donation from an anonymous donor. A huge thank you to everyone!
All money raised will go towards our 40 Candles refurbishment appeal.
The village hall and nursery are currently planning to put on a Christmas event on the evening of the 30th November to raise some money for the 40 Candles Appeal.
This will include ideas such as a live nativity, lantern procession and stalls/games. For more information see here.
For this we need help from hall user groups and locals. Please contact us if you can help in the organisation or just on the day.
Thanks so much to wonderful village hall supporter Helen Baranowski for pushing herself to the peak of physical endurance in order to raise funds for our village hall! You’re a hero, Helen! Here’s what she has to say about her marathon effort:
“I am raising money for The Village Hall 40 Candles Appeal by running the Leicester Marathon on Sunday (23 October). If you would like to sponsor me there are sponsorship forms at the Village Hall, the Library, Krave and the Butchers or I have a page on Just Giving (not sure how to attach a link!). Every sponsor will be very gratefully received and will go towards much needed renovation of the Village Hall, and really will inspire me to keep running (well moving forward anyway). Thank you very much.”
