The Box Office

We are going to be using Ticket Tailor as partner for our Event ticket sales in the future. This will keep things simple and, hopefully, easy for everyone to use.

This is a new route for us and we hope there won’t be any teething problems, but rest assured, we will be watching carefully to make sure it is all working as it should.

You can have a look at our new ‘Box Office’ with this link, https://buytickets.at/wetheringsettvillagehall – at the moment there is only one event there, but we hope to add more very soon.

An Evening (or two) of Festive Fun & Frivolity!

Well, what can we say? Curtains Up! have done it again and filled our Village Hall to capacity for their Christmas Production.

Both Friday and Saturday nights were sell outs and everyone that attended had a truly fantastic time.

If you didn’t manage to get tickets, here is a Gallery from the first night, even if you did get tickets, have a look through and remind yourselves what a great evening of entertainment was delivered!

Mobile Pizza Nights at the Village Hall

We’re pleased to announce that The Mobile Pizza Co will be visiting Wetheringsett Village Hall on Friday 14th and Friday 21st November, serving freshly made, wood-fired pizzas from 5pm to 7pm.

This is a trial run, and if it proves popular, we hope to welcome them back regularly as part of the village calendar. It’s a great opportunity to enjoy a delicious meal close to home and support a new local offering.

Please help spread the word—especially to those who may not use social media—so we can give this initiative the best chance of success. We look forward to seeing you there!

Autumn Trail and Jumble sale

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

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?

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

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.
