Three new groups since we updated the weekly schedule! We are thrilled the hall is used daily by so many community groups 😊 We are ran solely by volunteers, if you’d like to help us out to keep the hall open for future generations get in touch!

Huge thanks to Whisk&Wonders for donating bakes to Paula’s community cafe, these are going down a treat! With a The Chatty Cafe Scheme table and so many friendly regulars you will always find someone to chat to! ❤️

Welcome to our new regular hirers The Art Teacher Holmfirth Royal Voluntary Service & Zumba with Tricia 🎨 🎲 💃

And thank you to our long standing REBEL School of Performing Arts Tang Soo Do Denby Dale LaurieNettletonPilates Shepley Beavers & Cubs, Shepley Singers and Keep Dancing! ⭐️

☕ A little reminder that Paula’s Community Café will be closed on Tuesday 3rd November, reopening on Tuesday 10th November, 11.30am–2pm.

Massive thanks to everyone who has supported us since we opened back in March ❤️ Firstly, to Paula and our lovely team of volunteers who give up their time every week to make it all happen!

And to all our wonderful regulars, it’s been so lovely watching the café grow into such a friendly little community, with familiar faces returning each Tuesday, new friendships forming and plenty of chatter over a cuppa and a slice of cake.

Thank you also to everyone who pops in from the village to pick up their lunch, and to those who so kindly donate homemade cakes and treats.

Every cup of tea, slice of cake and takeaway lunch helps support the running and upkeep of the hall, keeping it open and welcoming for the whole community!

A special thank you to Dylan at Whisk & Wonders, who generously donated an amazing selection of bakes recently. They went down an absolute treat! 🍰

And finally, thank you to everyone who has bought raffle tickets to help us raise funds for our new backstage curtain structure. There’s still time to get involved! Tickets are available through our GoFundMe or with cash at The Farmers Boy.

What started as a little community café has become something really lovely, and that’s entirely down to the people who make it what it is.

Thank you all, and we’ll see you on Tuesday 10th November! ❤️🫖

Zumba in Shepley - cancellation due to illness ....

I'm really sorry everyone but I'm forced to again cancel Zumba at Shepley church hall on Thursdays 23nd and 29th October. My illness has become much worse; something I though was a short-term cold has turned out to be full-fat flu and I feel dizzy and dreadful.

I'm restarting at 10:00 on 5th November with something more gentle - Zumba Gold. Also, a second session at 11:00 for chair Zumba, if there's the demand. Do, please, book in advane or contact me to confirm so I don't book the church hall unnecessarily.

Thanks for your patience, I hope I feel better soon, T :-)

It was loaned to us for our heritage day and it has unfortunately gone missing. We would very much like to return it to its owner who kindly entrusted us with it. If you saw the picture in the run up to the heritage weekend or if you have any potential info relating to its whereabouts please contact us.
Many Thanks
