Afternoon Tea – 100 Years of Fairfield Church Hall

Even though many of you will know the building that is currently standing as Fairfield Village Hall, its official name is Fairfield Church Hall.

In 1979 the old wooden Church Hall was knocked down and replaced by the Village Hall that stands today.  The management of the hall was moved from the St. Mark’s to a Committee of Management, elected residents from the community and designated service users.

The hall was formally opened on Saturday December 11th 1926 by Lady Georgina Vernon.

Celebrating 100 Years

As there is a lot going on in December, with our and other Christmas events, we will mark the centenary of Fairfield Church Hall on Friday 30 October with an afternoon tea, starting at 2.00pm, with a selection of sandwiches, cakes and lashing of tea.  During the afternoon, there will be demonstrations from some of our current hall users, dancing & taekwondo.  There will also be a display of photos and memories in the Hall foyer, including videos of past pantomimes.  Tickets are £8.00 each and can be purchased below or from the Community Shop (open during Foodie Fairfield and The Wednesday Social. The Village Hall bar will be open for people wanting something stronger than tea & coffee.

Do you have any photos or memories that you can share?

Pop them down to the Hall during the morning of Friday 30 October, collect on Saturday evening, during the Halloween Family Event.  We’d like to scan your photos and memories, so that they can be kept for years to come.
