The Brentorians present…

By Community Information, News, Upcoming, Village Groups, Village Hall, What's On

Brentorians present:

OCTOBER 10th, 11th and 12th

Charles always shared the same bench in the park with his wife. Now Charles is alone, with only his memories of Rose sitting on the other end of the bench, until various people start to share the bench with him. These people may, or may not, be the cause of Charles misplacing something. Was it misplaced, or was it stolen? And who are the two mysterious people constantly checking their mobile phones and looking furtive?!

Performances on Thursday, Friday and Saturday 10th- 12th October 2024

at Brentor Village Hall

Tickets £7.50 per person

Bar available

Doors open 7pm for 7.30pm start

Please book tickets in advance with Helen de Carles on 01822 810412

    Mistletoe Fair 2023

    By Featured, News, Village Groups, Village Hall

    2023 Mistletoe Fair

    Brentor Village Hall was packed with festive visitors last Saturday (2/12/23) attending the annual Mistletoe Fair. As well as tasty food and drink there were lots of stalls selling all sorts of Christmas essentials with accompanying music from the Hummingbirds.

    The fair is an important event in the Village Hall calendar raising vital funds for the upkeep of the hall. It takes an enormous amount of energy to put on such an event (and bake all those goodies!) so a big thank you to the VHPFC for their hard work in making is such as success and to all those that came along and enjoyed the event.

    See you in 2024!

    Villages in Action – Help! I think I’m a Nationalist!

    By Community Information, Featured, News, Village Groups, Village Hall, What's On

    This event is now sold out

    Don't forget your tickets!

    Saturday 18th March 2023 7.30pm start at Brentor Village Hall

    Who am I?  Where do I belong?  And who should I vote for? Cornwall is at a tipping point.  House prices soar, the population shifts, tensions rise.  Some people see it as a separate nation, whilst others see it as a prime holiday destination and playground for the rich.  Seamas Carey is confused.  He is desperately trying to understand.  He’s watched a wave of gentrification sweep through his rural hometown.  There’s nowhere to live, yet second homes stand empty.  He wishes Cornwall was more welcoming and inclusive, but watches “up country” money sow division and suspicion.  Could closing borders and nationalism be the answer?  Where’s the line between pride and power?  What happens when it all goes too far?

    Seamas needs help…he needs your help!

    Suitable for 16+ years.  Tickets £13 available to book in advance online at:

    https://villagesinaction.co.uk/events/help-i-think-im-a-nationalist/
