Over half-term week at the end of October, significant works took place in the Octagon Hall. Funded by generous grants from external organisations and the residents of Willingham, who have supported our fund raising events, the Octagon Hall kitchen has been refurbished to modern standards, including now a dishwasher and a modern oven. At the same time, the heating in the hall has been sorted, so it now works properly and the building is warm. We very much hope that this will encourage local groups to want to make bookings to use the hall. The work was done with the aim of offering this as a community space. The Community Hub meets weekly on a Monday morning in the hall and the Memory Box Cafe monthly on a Saturday morning but there's still plenty of room for more users, either regularly or as a one-off. If you are interested in booking to use the hall, please contact our Parish Administrator on admin@5folds.org.uk or 01954 203459 for further information.
