Whissonsett Village Hall

Whissonsett Village Hall Whissonsett Village Hall is used by the local community for clubs and activities and as a venue for parties,entertainment, fetes and visiting productions.

Whissonsett or Witcingkeseta as it was known in the Domesday Book means either the settlement of the Witcing tribe or a place of watery meadows. The village is in a valley on a tributary of the River Wensum with many wells and springs so 'watery meadows' describes it very well. Set in the heart of rural Norfolk, it is situated between the Market Towns of Fakenham and Dereham. Whissonsett is surrou

nded by farm land and orchards; the Village itself encircles a beautiful 14th century Church. It is an idyllic scene, but behind this seemingly timeless picture is the hard work carried out by generation after generation of ordinary Norfolk people to preserve and beautify the church and village they love. With a history dating from the Dark Ages and The Iceni Tribe (Eceni) to Modern times there is a lot more to the Village than first meets the eye.

Just writing to say
"Thank you" to Sally, Caroline, Martin, Neil, Brian, Steve and Leigh for giving up your Saturday morning for the Village Hall.

Don't forgot, weather permitting we'll be emptying the big container tomorrow at the hall.
From 10 am we'll be pulling everything out, putting it into the hall, to see what the state of the fate games are. Then putting it all back in again. Please come lend a hand if you can. 2 of us ladies had a look last week and quickly realised we couldn't carry stuff, as it's big and heavy. So we're hoping for a bit of this 💪

Congratulations to this month's 4 winners.  If you'd like to be in it to win it, then contact Caroline on 01328 700665 A...

We had our monthly meeting last night. On the agenda was a possible village Fete in July for everyone. We want to have a live music marquee , outside games, a bar , BBQ, raffles, tombola, guess the bear 🐻 name etc.
Unfortunately we don't yet have enough volunteers to make this happen.
So this is an unashamed plea and call for you to help if possible.
There is a lot of work needing to be done ahead of time to make this happen, then work also during the day and then the clean up afterwards.
So please join in us at the open invite Fete team meeting on the 26th of Jan at 3pm. That's a Sunday.
