The Beoley Village Hall Social Club holds a variety of events throughout the year. In the winter period, from October to April, there is the Skittles League and Knockout Cup - currently involving 12 teams of 8 competitors.
We hold other special events, such as an annual Quiz Night and evenings featuring music groups or comedians. Since January 2013, we have been running a monthly "Trad" Jazz night - on the 4th Wednesday of the month.
There is an occasional Village Cinema night - on the 3rd Tuesday of a month, when we run it. This is an ideal opportunity to come and watch some of the top films, recently released, with free popcorn and peanuts. The bar is open and we encourage everyone to stay on after the film to socialise and discuss the film.
Keep coming back to this page, from time to time, to see announcements of forthcoming events. |

On Friday 5 June 2020, Beoley Village Hall presents - "DOUG PARKER's Music & Laughter Show."
The Music and Laughter Show has evolved into its current form as a result of occasional shows where Doug Parker and Steve Ashcroft worked together. The blend of music and comedy dovetailed together well, with each element of the show benefiting from the presence of the other. With Martin Lewis having performed with Steve Ashcroft for more than thirty years, it wasn't long before he was invited to complete the line-up.
And so you have it a show, combining the best of comedy combined with music to listen to and sing along with. Some fantastic entertainment is guaranteed.
The Hall and bar open at 7.15pm with the entertainment starting at 8pm. We anticipate a sell out evening so please ensure you organise your tickets in advance.
Tickets - £10 - available from Richard Ball - email ball-richard@hotmail.co.uk or Tel: 01527-66646 (before 9.00pm please). |
