Connecting communities to health and wellbeing is the theme for this year’s Village Halls Week and our upcoming Community Buildings Event.

Join us on Saturday 14th March at Braithwaite Institute to celebrate village halls and hear from a range of speakers about the wide variety of ways they help to keep people healthy, active and connected.

We’re looking forward to meeting up again in person, providing more opportunities for discussion and networking. We’ll also be launching Village Halls Week, which this year runs from Monday 16th to Sunday 22nd March.

Community Buildings events are free of charge and open to all Cumbria Community Building and Village Hall committee members.

Registration is essential and must be completed by midday on Wednesday 11th March to guarantee your place. This deadline is earlier than usual to allow for venue and food arrangements.

Join us from 10.00am for a cuppa and an opportunity to chat with stallholders and representatives from other halls. Presentations will begin at 10.30am.

Hybrid event

For those unable to join us in person, this event is also available to attend online. Please indicate when booking if you will be joining remotely.

Online participants will be sent the event link on the day and are asked to join from 10.15am.
