The New Village Hall Opening.

To celebrate this new phase in the life of Wadswick Green a series of events are proposed to showcase village activities and to generate new ideas to take advantage of the new facilities. The opening ceremonies are resident led and are scheduled around the weekend of 1 Nov 2025, over 3 days.
