  • Garvald Village Hall – what is it to you?

    Over the last twelve months, the Hall has been …  a concert hall, wedding venue, dance hall, party venue, pilates studio, sports hall, green room, post office, meeting room, jumble salesroom, flower showground, plant salesroom, christmas fairground and lecture theatre amongst other things!

    If you use it regularly, pop into events now and then or just dog walk in the orchard, why not come to the AGM? This year, it is taking place on Wednesday 14th November at 7.30pm. There will be a few formalities, but more of an opportunity to talk to and ask questions of the management committee. Plus cake, or biscuits or both! If you are interested, but cannot attend, please let us know via the contact us page. Otherwise, we look forward to seeing lots and lots of you there.

  • Nuthatch spotted in Garvald!
