Community Café at the BACH
The Community Café was run initially by Paul Elliston and was restarted post pandemic to enable Kate to connect with the community.
The Community Café runs every Wednesday afternoon between 2pm and 4pm. There is a monthly Repair Café on the 3rd Wednesday of the month and a Loss and Bereavement Group on the 1st Wednesday of the month.
Stay and Play Group at the BACH
We started out Stay and Play Group in November 2022 on a Thursday morning from 10.30am until 12 noon. Non structured sessions allow parents time to socialise while the children play, it has been lovely meeting lots of lovely little ones this year and their families.
The sessions are free of charge and we offer free coffee and biscuits for everyone, however donations of biscuits or tea and coffee welcome.
Community Quiz Nights
The Parish Council and The Tacchi Morris run a monthly Community Quiz Night at the bar upstairs in the Tacchi Morris which has proved to be very popular. There is no charge for attending, however you do need to book with the Tacchi Morris Booking Office and we do ask for a donation towards 2nd team prize. First prize is tickets to see a show for all of the team. Book early to avoid disappointment, tables get booked up very quickly.
