Coronavirus update January 2021 ...
Unfortunately, Catworth Village Hall has had to be closed again.
You can read our latest newsletter here.
As previously, when we are able to re-open there will be some additional hire conditions
whilst Covid19 is prevalent and capacity will temporarily be reduced to 30. We hope residents will feel comfortable resuming use of the hall responsibly.
The folding partitions will be open to create the largest space possible, exit will be via the rear doors and the Hall crockery and cutlery will not be available.

Countryside access ...
We are very fortunate to live where we can walk from our homes to enjoy the countryside that surrounds us.
Thanks to all landowners and tenants who keep rights of way open and marked, and anyone who clears footpaths, kept them litter free or picks up after their dog.
If you are uncertain of our local Rights of Way; try a free trial of the Ordnance Survey App
for clear and easy to follow guidance.
