Fireworks Event a huge success!

The Fireworks event held at the Chantry on 5th November was a huge sugcess with a bigger than expected attendance!

A total of £1,557 was raised during the evening. As promoted when we sold tickets, this money will be put towards the much-needed renovation of the toilet facilities at the Chantry. The Trustees are hoping to obtain a grant from Enovert Community Trust for this project and if successful, some of the money raised at the Fireworks event would be used as the required "third-party contribution" and paid to the grant provider in order for them to release the full grant.

Thanks to everyone who came along for helping to make it such a successful evening.

Slymbridge Room open after major renovation project

The old bar room which was used for several decades by the Social Club, has been the subject of a major renovation project and is now a beautiful Georgian style meeting and function room. The work took 8 months to complete and the end result certainly justifies the enormous amount of effort as well as cost.

The room has been re-named the "Slymbridge Room", in memory of the founder of the original Chantry in Tudor times.

The Slymbridge Room is now avalable to hire for meetings and activities. Due to a number of issues, bookings are not being taken for private parties until further notice.

Shakespeare event enjoyed by a large audience

A wonderful performance of "Much Ado About Nothing" was performed by The Festival Players in the Chantry walled garden on the last Sunday in August. The event, organised by Friends of the Chantry, was an enormous success and was thoroughly enjoyed by the audience. The performance was held in beautiful weather, enabling everyone to thoroughly enjoy the wonderful environment of the Chantry garden.

The Festival Players Theatre Company is a well established professional company with Dame Judi Dench as the patron. The company tours extensively internationally.
