We are delighted to announce that the village hall will be reopening our doors fully on Monday 19th July 2021.

It remains important to respect and be considerate of those who are more vulnerable and who may wish to take a more cautious approach and to keep our staff safe, so we will be keeping the following procedures in place:

The one-way system of entry and exit to your venue
We expect you to continue to make use of the hand sanitising stations/dispensers
A face mask must be worn when visiting the Parish Council Office.
The legal requirements to wear a face covering will be lifted in all settings. Guidance will advise that wearing a face covering will reduce your risk and the risk to others, where you come into contact with people you don't normally meet in enclosed and crowded spaces, so use of face coverings will remain advisable in confined spaces such as toilets, kitchens and corridors and at more crowded events.
We continue to use the NHS Track & Trace QR code at our premises
We ask that windows remain open for ventilation purposes throughout the booking. The air conditioning units must not be used as they recycle air in the room.
Consider individual risks, such as clinical vulnerabilities and vaccination status.

The limits on the amount of people allowed in each room will also be ending from Monday 19th July 2021. Previous room capacity is to be restored. This stands at:
The Cottage x 25
The Alan Talbott Room x 50
The Broughton Hall x 130
The Astley Room x 15

Apart from during the full lockdown, we are very proud that our venue has remained open throughout the pandemic. The measures that we have put in place have proven successful in keeping everyone safe and we wish to continue doing so in the future. With this is mind we ask that you adhere to our rules and remember that you are now asked to be responsible for your own safety.

May we wish you a welcome return to post-Covid 'normality'!

The NCT hold regular sessions here in the Cottage on Thursday evenings.

Statement from the NCT:

The courses are not able to take place due to rising Covid-19 infection rates and official guidance for pregnant women, online is the only way the NCT can safely and practically deliver local, fully interactive and inclusive courses – a decision supported by the Royal College of Midwives.

We know how much you value our in-person courses so we're keeping our options open for courses in 2021. Currently you can still book these as in-person classes but we'll only bring people back together in venues once it is safe to do so. We'll never put you, your baby or your family at risk.

With over 60 years' experience supporting new mums and dads, you can rely on NCT's range of fun, informative and social antenatal classes and postnatal courses to support you through pregnancy, birth and your new life as a parent.
