Hopelands is situated on the edge of the village in
The hall has recently been extensively renovated and now provides a wonderful venue for a variety of events such as family parties, receptions, dances, entertainments, exhibitions and meetings of all kinds.
Hopelands has recently aquired solar panels. The solar panels generate electricity which goes into the national grid. The value of the electricity generated is set against the cost of the electricity the hall consumes.
There is a display panel in the hall showing the amount of electricity being generated at any particular moment, together with the total amount of electricity that has been generated and the total amount of carbon emissions that have been saved since the solar panels started to operate.
