It’s coffee and cake time again this Saturday (11th April) at Cranborne Village Hall. Join us for homemade cakes, freshly-brewed coffee and pots of tea between 10.30am and 12.30pm. It’s becoming a highlight of the month and a great opportunity to catch up with friends and neighbours.
Dorset Digital Champions will be there again to help with any IT issues you may have – phone, laptop, tablet or whatever.
Hope to see you there.
Our nest Artsreach performance is on Friday 15th May, when Diyet & The Love Soldiers come to Cranborne.

We’ll be holding our first AGM tomorrow, Wednesday 8th April, at 6.30pm. So if you’d like to find out more about what’s been happening since we re-opened the Village Hall a year ago and what we’re planning for the next 12 months, then please come along. And we’d love to hear any ideas you have.
Cranborne Village Hall was packed last night to watch the amazing Swing from Paris perform their jazz classics. Over 100 people enjoyed a tour through the 20th century played on violin, guitars and double bass. We feel privileged to have had such a magical evening from this brilliant group. Thank you Swing from Paris, and thank you Artsreach.
We’ve got an evening of fabulous Parisian-flavoured music at Cranborne Village Hall next week. Swing from Paris is an all-string jazz quartet inspired by the music of the 30s, 40s and 50s, So if you like a bit of Artie Shaw, Django Reinhart or Stéphane Grappelli, this is right up your ‘rue’.
It’s all happening on Friday 20th March at Cranborne Village Hall. The performance starts at 7.30pm. Tickets, which are £13, £6 under 18s, £36 for a family, are available from www.artsreach.co.uk or by calling Alison Lawson on 01725 517028.
We’re offering a choice of delicious French-themed food for those who would like to eat with us. There’s a two-course pre-performance meal at £14 (served from 6.30pm) and French mixed apero plates to nibble during the performance at £5 for a plate, or £7.50 to include cake and coffee. Food can be ordered (pre-booking essential) on https://cecil-memorial-hall-2024-cranborne-village-hall.sumupstore.com/ or by emailing events@cranbornevillagehall.org.uk
It’s going to be ‘formidable’….
A thrilling action-packed romp with comedy, hints of romance and a pair of marvellously matched stars, The Fall Guy has been described as “a fizzy, funny, convincingly romantic delight, a tribute to the craft of making big movies with big stunts that is heartfelt in its appreciation without taking itself too seriously”.
Doors and bar open at 18.00 and the film starts at 18.30. Tickets are £5 on the door.

The film is rated 12A, so no one under 12 unless accompanied by an adult.
