Arts in Village Halls


On 14th October 36 people attended a village hall training session entitled Arts in Village halls at Chieveley village hall in West Berkshire. 


Speakers from the Watermill Theatre and Chieveley cinema club spoke about arts productions in halls and how to organise them. Rosie from the Watermill Theatre explained about the touring production which is taken out halls during a 3 week period next summer, a play which will have been performed at the Watermill Theatre itself. Attendees were invited to register interest to host a performance next year.

Organisers of Chieveley Cinema club explained how the club was established, how it’s membership scheme works and the types of films that they show. They offered to help any group which wants to establish its own cinema club.

About half of the delegates were from Oxfordshire as the topics were as relevant to them as people from Berkshire.

The event was well received: comments included lovely atmosphere, great presenters, very interactive and lots of opportunities to ask questions.

The event was supported by Adult Community Learning West Berkshire Council.
