What’s On at the Bisley WI Village Hall

Here’s a round-up of various events, classes and meetings that take place at the Bisley WI Village Hall.  All of them are open to the public, although some may charge an entrance fee.  Check with the organiser for more details and keep an eye on our Bookings Calendar which will give you the latest information on last-minute cancellations or date changes.

Events

Bisley gardens were open on Sunday 4th June, with teas available at Cricketty Mill and in the Village Hall.  Early indications are that the event raised over £1000 for Village Hall funds.  Thank you to everyone who opened their superlatively tended gardens, but also to all the other volunteers who baked cakes, sold tickets, served teas and washed up.  We really do appreciate you.

But an even bigger ‘Thank You’ goes to all of you who came and enjoyed a wonderful sunny afternoon in the glorious gardens of Bisley!  See you next year, we hope.
