The Parish Hall, built in 1980, was the culmination of much hard work in fundraising through grants and events, most notably the Eastcote Festival. In 2014, a major refurbishment and extension project was completed, again with funding from the community and many grants including those from Biffa Award, The London Marathon Charitable Trust, and South Northants Council. The hall is used by over 20 groups and organisations on a regular basis and provides a venue for many social occasions.
The Parish Hall is splendid after its refurbishment. However, the budget did not allow for the front car park to be resurfaced and to this day remains potholed and uneven. During wet periods, this is especially problematic as large puddles accumulate and it becomes messy underfoot. An estimate for the completion of the work is in the region of £50,000
The mission for Picnic in the Park is to raise this money which will benefit the community and patrons who continually use the hall.
So far Picnic in the Park has raised over £8000 as a start towards this goal; we are hoping to continue adding to this total as Picnic in the Park continues to grow.
Thank you for your continued support, together we can all enjoy a fantastic music event each year; and hopefully a nice new tarmac car park in the process.
