Autumn Trail and Jumble sale

School No Comments

Two Exciting October Events from the Friends of Wetheringsett Primary School

This October, the Friends of Wetheringsett Primary School are hosting two fantastic community events — perfect for all ages and a great way to support the school!

Autumnal Trail: Monday 13th – Friday 31st October

Embark on the Friends’ first-ever Village Trail! Starting Monday 13th October, pick up a trail map for just £1 and follow the route around Wetheringsett, hunting for clues along the way. The trail ends at The Cedars Pantry farm shop, where you’ll have the chance to win a prize!

Maps will be available from 13th October — don’t miss out on this fun, family-friendly adventure through our village.

Jumble Sale: Saturday 18th October, 10am–12 Noon

Join them at our Wetheringsett Village Hall for a lively Jumble Sale packed with bargains. From clothes and shoes to books, toys, and handbags — there’s something for everyone.

Donations welcome! If you’re having a clear-out, please bring your items to the Village Hall on Friday 17th October so they can be sorted in time for the sale. Every contribution helps make this event a success and raises valuable funds for the school.

Spread the word! Invite your friends, family, and neighbours — let’s make both events a big success for the school and our community. We hope to see you there!

Macmillan Coffee Morning

Charity No Comments

According to Macmillan’s website, “Coffee Mornings are a great way to bring people together for a slice of something nice. You can host your event on any day that suits you!“

Well, we (Hilary and Sue) are holding ours on Saturday, 11th October 2025 at the Village Hall and you are all invited! Doors will open from 9.30 am and stay open until 12 Noon. We will be serving the usual tea, coffee, cakes and bacon sandwiches!

If anyone is able to bake (or buy) some cakes or scones to contribute to the event that would be great. Please bring them to the Hall around 9 am on the day!

Please let your friends and neighbours know and hopefully you will be able to come along and spend some time with us, raising much needed funds.

Donations from thousands of Coffee Mornings, big and small, help raise vital funds to support the almost 3.5 million people in the UK living with cancer, from the moment they are diagnosed, throughout treatment and beyond.

A Village Fete for next year?

Friends of the Hall No Comments

The Village Hall team has heard your calls for an annual village fete, and we’re excited to announce we’re looking into bringing it back next year.

We’re a small, hard-working group, but we can’t do it alone. We need your help to make this happen!

If you’re interested in getting involved and helping us organize a fete for the village, we’re looking for a small group of enthusiastic volunteers to take the lead. You’ll work with the Village Hall committee to make sure the fete is a big success.

If you want to see a fete and are ready to make it happen, please contact either:

  • Colin: 0799 948 0369
  • Hilary: 0751 999 9265

We are both on WhatsApp. Don’t assume someone else will do it—we need you!

Planning needs to start as soon as possible so that we can book whatever attractions we want to be included!

Yoga Ways

Yoga Sessions No Comments

The new term began on 10th September and classes are running every Wednesday evening at Wetheringsett Village Hall, starting at 6.30pm.

Whether you are an athlete or an absolute beginner, yoga has so much to offer. It can help you to become more flexible, build strength, improve balance, breathe more effectively and feel calmer. And you definitely don’t need to be able to touch your toes or sit in Lotus!

Spaces are limited, but if you are interested, why not pop along to the Hall on Wednesday to have a chat with Amanda Wearing and see about signing up for the remaining sessions.

Happy Anniversary!

Happy 1st Anniversary to Harry & Eleanor!

Today we’re celebrating a very special milestone — the first wedding anniversary of Harry and Eleanor!

Their beautiful ceremony was one of the memorable weddings held right here at Wetheringsett Village Hall, and we’re so proud to have been part of their big day.

Time really does fly — it feels like just yesterday we were setting up for their celebration!

Wishing them continued love, laughter, and happiness for many years to come.

Our Hall is currently looked after by a small group of volunteers who, to be honest, sometimes struggle to cope with everything that needs to be done to keep the Hall in tip top condition whilst at the same time securing more bookings to keep funds coming in.

Can you lend a hand?

Lots of people helping out in front of a Village Hall
(We know that this image is not our Hall, but sure you get the gist of it!)

We’re always looking for local helpers to support with:

  • General upkeep (cleaning, gardening, small repairs)
  • Event help (setting up, serving refreshments, welcoming guests)
  • Planning and organising future activities
  • Sharing your skills — admin, tech, crafts, anything!

Whether you’ve got a little time or a lot, your help makes a big difference. It’s a great way to meet people, support your community, and keep the Hall at the heart of village life.

Interested? Please get in touch, either on here, on our Facebook Page, or grab one of the Team at the next event.

Let’s keep Wetheringsett Village Hall thriving – together!

Noah’s 3rd Birthday!

Birthday Party No Comments

Although I don’t live in the village myself, my parents do, and I also work at Wetheringsett Manor School, so when planning Noah’s 3rd birthday, the Village Hall immediately came to mind.

I got in touch with Sue, the Bookings Officer, who was incredibly helpful. She provided all the details I needed to consider the hire and even arranged to meet up for a look around the Hall to make sure it would suit everything I had planned.

There was plenty of space for the 20 or so children expected, and enough tables and chairs to spread out for the parents who were staying to keep an eye on their little ones. Another fantastic feature was being able to play music from my phone via Bluetooth through the Hall’s speakers.

Birthday Table with Balloons and Banners
Bouncy Castle in the Village Hall, all ready for Noah's 3rd Birthday Party

With the hire sorted, I arranged for the bouncy castle and provided a copy of the insurance to make sure everything was in order.

On the day of the party, I accessed the Hall using the code Sue had given me, set everything up, and let Nana and Gramps bring over and set up the buffet.

The kitchen was ideal for last-minute preparations, including a fridge and a freezer (making storing drinks and party food so much easier) and everything you’d need for a party food prep.

I decorated the Hall, setting up the Birthday Table with balloons and banners. Originally, I had hoped to make use of the lovely outside area for Noah’s summer birthday, but as classic Suffolk weather goes, it rained. Luckily, the bouncy castle fit perfectly inside, so the party went ahead without any issues.

Noah and his friends had a brilliant time, bouncing and playing to their hearts’ content, and I’m sure they all slept well that night after running ragged all afternoon!
