Pittington Village Hall is located in the village of High Pittington, near Durham. It is managed by Pittington Community Association.
The hall is used by many local groups to run activities including Pittington Brass Band, Girls Friendly Society, Durham Area Youth, Pittington Toddler Group, Pittington Camera Club, Dance Fusion Academy and others – check out the regular sessions here.
The hall, together with kitchen and canteen, is available at the weekends for party bookings. A two hour party booking, with additional time for setting up and clearing away costs just £60. A large inflatable obstacle course is also available at an additional cost of £60. We are currently working on adding an online booking system – for all booking enquiries, please email the hall manager, Jodie at bookings@pittingtonvillagehall.org.uk or phone 07925 067001.
If you have battery storage at home take a look at Axle - it works alongside your existing energy provider and pays you to export when they have grid events. We've used it at the village hall since the start of the year and earned £170. You get a minimum of £10 per month plus we both get a £25 bonus if you use this signup link...
You'll both get £25 when you sign up. Get paid when your home battery supports the grid.
What do you think about where you live? What positive things are there and what needs to be improved? Durham City and Surrounding Areas Local Network would like to know. The Local Network needs to develop a local action plan that identifies what people's priorities are for their communities. In order to do this we are organising a series community consultation events. These are drop in events so you can come along at any time and let us know what is important to you, your, family and friends and to your community. So far we have organised four events, with a fifth one being planned for the Sherburn and Pittington areas. Dates already set are; Thursday 22nd October, 2:00pm to 6:00pm, Merryoaks Community Hall Thursday
Northern Powergrid are contacting community spaces to ask if we can help in the case of power cuts, as happened during Storm Arwen.
The village hall will help with a warm place to be, hot drinks, phone charging etc if there are any power cuts during the bad weather this weekend (assuming we aren't part of any power cut!).
Keep warm and stay safe 🥰
