A New Hall for Eynsford
Following a long and diligent selection process we’re delighted to announce that G A Harper, a local family firm, has been selected as our preferred contractor for the new hall project. Trustees are now hard at work setting up the development phase, known as the Pre-Construction Services Agreement or PCSA. This will ensure a smooth path to the construction phase which will begin next year.
We are also very pleased to announce that following some competitive bidding a good offer has been accepted for the sale of the village hall site. This is of course a massive step forward giving us a sizeable cash boost. Fundraising to complete the project needs to continue apace and we are looking for more volunteers to assist or lead in this.
We expect the existing hall to remain open until at least the end of February, so all events and activities scheduled up until that date will be going ahead, including Riverside Players’ pantomime Beauty and the Beast. We will be working with our contractors to get the new hall built and ready for use as early as possible in 2027 and look forward to welcoming everyone back to the new, much improved facilities once the new hall is ready.
