Origins of VHRG
The Village Hall Revival Group came into being in 2025 as a result of a group of village hall supporters coming together with a plan to extend and modernise the village hall.
Fund raising
VHRG have been organising fund raising events since Spring 2025 starting with a successful VE Day musical celebration evening in May. Most significantly they have taken over the organisation of the annual Country Fayre and Flower show from the previous group who stood down after the 2024 event.
The extension
Exciting plans for an extension to the village hall are being actively developed by the Village Hall Revival Group (VHRG – see more about the group below). VHRG are keen to have feedback from everyone in the village about the project. Feedback can be by filling in a feedback sheet at the village hall, by responding by email to ashburnhamVHRG@gmail.com, by text to a member of the VHRG committee or by leaving a message on the feedback phone line on 07471 190257.
The chart below tells you more about the project and the plan and as you can see there is a dedicated email address for your feed back. mailto:ashburnhamVHRG@gmail.com
The plans
These can be viewed on line – details to follow. These are drafts now in consultation before applying for planning permission.
Progress to date
As of October 2025 the final draft is with the trustees of the Ashburnham Estate on whose land the extension would be built.
