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 14 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 a Village Cinema night on the 3rd Tuesday of the month. 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. |

"THE BIG SLEEP" on Tuesday 20 March 2018.

The story is set in Los Angeles. The story is noted for its complexity, with characters double-crossing one another and secrets being exposed ...
Private investigator Philip Marlowe (Humphrey Bogart) is hired by General Sternwood to help resolve the gambling debts of his wild young daughter, Carmen (Martha Vickers). Sternwood's older daughter, Vivian (Lauren Bacall), provides assistance when she implies that the situation is more complex, and also involves casino owner (John Ridgely) and a recently disappeared family friend. As people linked to the Sternwoods start being murdered, Marlowe finds himself getting ever deeper into the case.
The Hall opens at 7.15pm and the film shows at 8.00pm. The bar will be open, with drinks and snacks available.
