Welcome to The Winter Restoration ❄️

An exciting and all new collaboration with Amanda of Freedom 2 Heal (Integrative Therapist) Carli Thorpe (Trauma Informed Somatic Coach), carson.breathe (Breathwork Facilitator) and Kismet (our resident DJ).

There is a natural pull within us to slow down as the days get shorter, to turn inward, and rest more and yet, as winter approaches, the world seems to ask us to do the opposite. With calendars filling up and expectations growing, we can all feel that familiar pressure to keep going and push beyond our true capacity and the pace of the season.

During this immersive afternoon, we invite you to discover a new way of navigating this time of year that honours your natural rhythm.

And offer you the opportunity to step out of the pace and pressure of the festive season and come back to yourself by guiding you to release, restore and reconnect through three powerful and complementary practices:

❄️ EFT-Tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique): Amanda will guide you with this simple yet powerful tool that helps us to identify and release emotions, thoughts and patterns that may be keeping us stuck.

❄️ Somatic Dance: Carli will lead this invitation to tune into your body and explore movement as a way of listening, feeling, expressing and releasing, rather than performing.

❄️ Breathwork: Carson will guide this breathwork experience, using conscious connected breathing, to support deeper release, restoration and connection with yourself.

🎶 Music: Our resident DJ, Kismet will guide us with a carefully curated music journey throughout the day.

And of course we will keep you nourished with light refreshments provided by Leaf Lounge Cafe, giving you time to pause and connect along the way.

🔗 So, if you’re already feeling the change of pace taking over and are looking to resource yourself ready for the coming months this is for you!

A little connection between Kingston and Malawi!

Did you know that a toilet at The Barn at Kingston is twinned with one in Chibwana Village, Rumphi District, Malawi?

Through Toilet Twinning , we’re supporting work to help communities access safe toilets and better sanitation, something it’s easy to take for granted.

Next time you’re at The Barn, look out for our twinning certificate, pictured here. A small reminder that our village hall can make a difference beyond Kingston.

Well, there’s always one who has to be different…

The dog show at today’s Kingston Village Fete had a slightly unexpected entrant. Four legs, on a lead… close enough!

It’s been a wonderful day at the Barn, with the playing field full of people, families and familiar faces enjoying the sunshine and all the fun of the fete.

Days like today are what village life is all about, and it’s lovely to see the Barn and playing field right at the heart of it. Thanks to all those who made today possible.

A fantastic afternoon, great weather and apparently a very inclusive dog show!

We’ve been a little quieter than usual on Facebook recently, and we thought it was worth explaining why.

Firstly, we’d like to apologise to our neighbours and the wider community for the disruption caused by a couple of recent late-night parties at The Barn at Kingston. We know they caused frustration, and that’s not the experience we want anyone to have.

Following those incidents, the trustees reviewed our booking procedures and have introduced changes to reduce the risk of similar events happening again. We’ve also strengthened our response arrangements should any issues arise. While no venue can eliminate every risk, we’re committed to being responsible custodians of this fantastic community asset.

As many of you know, The Barn is run entirely by volunteers. Over the past year we’ve been working hard behind the scenes to improve both the venue and the way we operate. Recent improvements include:
• Launching a brand new website that’s easier to navigate and mobile-friendly.
• Introducing a new online booking system.
• Improving our booking procedures and policies.
• Carrying out ongoing maintenance and safety improvements.
• Replacing more of our ageing chairs.
• Launching a WhatsApp Community to help trustees and volunteers stay connected.
• Starting community fundraising events, including our popular Quiz Nights and Murder Mystery evenings.

Spoiler alert… we’re already planning our next fundraising event, but you’ll have to wait a little longer before we reveal the details!

There’s still plenty we’d love to do, but we always need more helping hands.

You don’t need to become a trustee. Whether you can help with gardening, DIY, fundraising, hall checks, events or simply lend your skills from time to time, we’d love to hear from you.

Thank you to everyone who supports The Barn at Kingston by hiring it, volunteering or attending events. Your support helps keep this wonderful community space thriving for everyone.

If you’d like to get involved, please send us a message, comment below or speak to one of the trustees.

Some lovely feedback from considerate hirers of beautiful Kingston Barn.
'Thank you so much for letting us use your beautiful hall. We were out and all cleaned up by 8pm. Our relatives and close friends had a wonderful time and I hope the hall was left in as good a state as we found it. It meant a lot that we had such a wonderful outdoor space to have a game of football and some other field games on. Plus the weather was perfect.

Thank you once again.
