Chelmarsh Parish Hall has been awarded a grant to take part.

The parish hall in School Lane will be offering taster sessions of some of the regular activities that take place there, on the morning of January 25.

There will also be presentations from organisers of potential new activities.

People are invited to drop in to enjoy some free tea and toast, try out the activities and enter a raffle to try and win a bottle of Tanners Champagne.
