Please note that our monthly Chaturdays coffee, cake and chat is tomorrow (Saturday 8th August) and not the following week – there was a gremlin in the newsletter!

Hope you can join us for a convivial morning of homemade cakes, freshly brewed coffee and tea, and a chance to sit down for a chat. It takes place between 10.30am and 12.30pm at Cranborne Village Hall.

It’s the second Saturday of the month, so that means it’s Chaturdays at Cranborne Village Hall this week. Join us on Saturday 8th August for homemade cakes, freshly-brewed coffee, pots of tea and a chance to chat with friends and neighbours.

We’ll be joined once again by Dorset Digital Champions who can help with any phone or IT issues you may be experiencing – no matter how small!

See you there between 10.30am and 12.30pm.

Calling all gardeners, bakers, brewers, crafters, artists, jam-makers…this is your chance to shine. The Cranborne Show is taking place on Saturday 19th September at Cranborne Village Hall – and there’s something for everyone.

Categories cover vegetables, fruit, flowers, bread, cakes, preserves, home brews, art, photography, crafts, and for children miniature gardens, vegetable animals, photography and colouring. A Competition Guide with full list of categories, entry form and info on how to enter is now available from Cranborne Stores. 

In the evening, we’re holding a Harvest Supper which is for everyone, not just entrants to the show. We’ll be serving cottage pie (veggie option available) and Dorset apple cake. Tickets are £10 for adults and £5 for under 16s. For more info and to book your place, email events@cranbornevillagehall.org.uk

It’s going to be a busy day!

Come on a magical adventure when the Treehouse Theatre brings Alice in Wonderland to Cranborne Village Hall on Wednesday 12th August. This family show follows Alice as she meets the White Rabbit and the tyrannical Queen while she tries to get home. 

This summer panto, brought to us by Artsreach, is suitable for all the family (age 4 upwards).  And it goes a step further: members of the audience will be able to play a part on stage! It’s going to be a colourful and interactive show filled with laughter and live music.

The performance starts at 3pm but you need to be there by 2.30pm if you’d like to take part. Tickets are £8 for adults, £6 for children and £24 for a family. Book via www.artsreach.co.uk or by emailing events@cranbornevillagehall.org.uk.

Afterwards we’re running a children’s Mad Hatter’s Tea Party. Visit the What’s On page on www.cranbornevillagehall.org.uk to find out more and book your teas, which are £4 for children (pre-booked only). Refreshments for adults will be available on the day.

And so is Artsreach’s fantastic summer panto Alice in Wonderland. Four weeks today (Wednesday 12th August) we’ll be welcoming the Treehouse Theatre to Cranborne Village Hall for an afternoon to remember. Have you booked your tickets yet?

Suitable for everyone over the age of 4, this is a show filled with laughter and live music. And there’s a twist:  30 audience members can play a part in the performance. The show starts at 3pm but you need to get there by 2.30pm if you’d like to take part.

Tickets (£8 for adults, £6 for children, £24 for a family) can be bought via www.artsreach.co.uk, by emailing events@cranbornevillagehall.org.uk or by calling Alison on 01725 517028.

To keep the fun going, there’s a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party afterwards. Go to the What’s On page on www.cranbornevillagehall.org.uk to book (£4, pre-booked only). Adult refreshments will be available on the day.

…then come into the cool of Cranborne Village Hall.

It’s Chaturdays this Saturday, our monthly coffee, cake and chat session, between 10.30am and 12.30pm. There’ll be homemade cakes, freshly-brewed coffee and tea, and a chance to catch up with friends and neighbours. We’ll also be joined by the Dorset Digital Champions who can help with any issues you may have with your smartphone, laptop or tablet. 

See you there!
