Every other year the beautiful Surrey village of Grayswood holds an open garden weekend to raise money for a good cause, this year to re-start the clock on the parish church. Such a lovely day, cricket on The Green, tea and cakes in the village hall and that staple of all my mum's outings, a plant stall.

A village hall is usually a building within a village which contains at least one large room, usually owned by and run for the benefit of the local community. Such a hall is typically used for a variety of public and private events, such as parish council meetings, sports club functions, local drama productions, dances, jumble sales and private parties. Village halls sometimes have charitable status. They are occasionally called the village institute rather than village hall or community centres.
