The Cold Ashby Village Hall is a vibrant community hub in the heart of Cold Ashby. Due to the closure of the village pub, the Memorial Hall (Village Hall) is an important place where our community can improve their wellbeing and socialise with friends and neighbours. Now, more than ever we need the support of our community to ensure that the Hall’s future is secured, and we ask that we work together to save our beloved and precious hall and help preserve it not only for now but for future generations.

This year (2022/2023), in total, we have held ten social evenings, two Quiz nights, a Race night, Curry and Bingo night, Gameshow Beef Stew and Bullseye, the Village Coronation celebrations, a May Day Reunion, two children’s parties, charity skittles night, Open Gardens BBQ, and The Village Show. We have also been hired out by the church for Open Gardens and Harvest Supper; The Village Artisan; two private parties, a coffee evening, and a funeral.
In addition to all these events, we have been used regularly for Parish Council meetings and other group meetings. We have hosted skittles matches, once or twice a week and various skittles tournaments for the league. We are very grateful to the community for their support and help at our events and we know from feedback that they have been appreciated and enjoyed by all who have attended.
