Our logistics manager is 17 years old. Our Woofstock Dogs entertainment marquee was organised, run and managed by 11 year olds and our car park marshals , and other ground crew ranged from 11 to 17.

Most of them live in Heptonstall and they ALL stepped up, stepped out and did a truly professional job on behalf of The Heptonstall Village Team.

 Customer service and care were first class and taking responsibility for delivering a great day was clearly evident from this young team.

 PS – A big thumbs up to Adrian Baldwin and Amey for allowing us use of hi viz jackets on the day!!

Village Team Jumble Trail Event

We are running a Jumble Trail Event in Heptonstall on Monday 29th August.

There will be things on at the bowling club for families, as well as bacon sarnies, a good value lunch and bouncy castle for the kids.

Anyone wanting to get involved will be given space in the bowling club, or the chance to ‘buddy up’ with some-one along the trail.

Please contact Jan Lymer on 01422 847979 or 07772 168812 so we can match you  up with someone local.

Anyone can come along and raise money for their own cause, or just get the chance to de-clutter the house!!

It is going to be a lovely way to while away a few hours over the bank holiday, and the village will be judging its best garden competition on that day too.

Heptonstall Village Team – New Format Art Club: Changing Faces

New Format Art Club: Changing Faces

We are pleased to announce a new collaboration with Heptonstall Junior and Infant School – our Art Classes will now involve both the younger and older generations of Heptonstall and beyond. A regular class will be held with the children at the school, with an alternating class being held in Mytholm Meadows, where our younger artists will come down to paint and craft alongside our older folks.

This will be a regular class, culminating in an art exhibition and film show at The Heptonstall Bowling and Social Club next year. Nick Wilding will be filming some of the process as well as showing his film of 8 year olds interviewing 80 year olds that he filmed in 2000.

If you would like more information or to get involved, contact Pauline Walker at Mytholm Meadows, on 01422 843194

Heptonstall Village Team – New Lunch Club

The Heptonstall Village Team and members of St Thomas’ Church have collaborated to apply for funding to kit out the new kitchen with catering equipment. This means that shortly after Christmas we’ll have another place to hold lunch club events for our older generations, as well as providing catering facilities to support other church events.

Our Lunch Clubs at The Towngate Tea Rooms and The Shoulder of Mutton in Mytholmroyd continue to prove popular, though we will be looking to see if the days need to be adjusted in the New Year.

These are currently the second Wednesday in the month for Towngate Tea Rooms (3pm) and the last Wednesday in the month for The Shoulder of Mutton in Mytholmroyd (12pm).
