After an initial 3 weeks that turned into 5 months, we are absolutely thrilled to be welcoming young people back into our hut at long last this evening. This has been a very difficult time for the Group with a lot of unexpected challenges along the way, thankyou to everyone for your patience and to the amazing volunteers who have worked tirelessly to make the hut look a lot, lot better. We cut it fine, the builders left this afternoon, but we are ready to open. Welcome back everybody!!
We are now available to hire again for regular hirers or one off parties! Competitive rates, contact [email protected] if interested
