Information for Tier 3 at the Village Hall.

The Post Office will continue to open on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons but groups of more than six people cannot be permitted. Below is an extract from the government guidance for Village Halls, to clarify the situation.

"In tier 3 it is advised that indoor sports and exercise classes should not take place other than those involving individual household/bubbles. Informal sports can only take place within the legal gathering limits" (6 people).

We will update the advice as the government releases it. We regret that some bookings for January have had to be cancelled. Those groups that have booked for February will be notified if we have to cancel those bookings too. Please message with any questions or inquiries.
