Packington Memorial Hall 2020 AGM – 17th March
Stop Press: Village Hall Suffers Massive Leaks
Today saw the annual Packington Horticultural show, culminating in the auction of produce from village gardeners. The produce was entered in the morning in both junior and adult categories, judged and then the amazing plants, vegetables, cakes and chutneys auctioned off in support of the society. A very successful village event held in the Memorial Hall.
Open Evening Success
The Packington Memorial Hall open evening was a complete success. We had exhibits from groups who regularly hold meetings and events in the hall, as well as other groups of interest in the village. For more details please see the pages coming soon to the PMHV.uk website highlighting the available groups.
Village Open Evening at our Memorial Hall – Friday 26th April 7pm – FREE glass of Prosecco or hot drink..
Friday 26th April 2019 – 7 pm – Major Event:
Village Open Evening at our Memorial Hall
FREE hot drink or glass of Prosecco.. Pop in for 5 minutes, or stay for longer.
Information on Village Groups, Clubs, Societies, events, and activities will be on display at Memorial Hall Venue 175 starting at 7pm on Friday. Plus you can MEET PEOPLE!
We haven’t staged an event of this size since 2009, when the new Hall had just been opened; back then the evening was a major success, with many village people commenting on how they “..just didn’t know..” about all the different activities and societies that take place in Packington.
Ten years on, there are many thriving village Groups that YOU might enjoy being part of, and which would welcome YOU to come and see what they are and what they do. This is YOUR chance to look around with zero commitment needed.
Also ten years on from 2009, we estimate one-third of the village population were not here in 2009. New to Packington? So were we, once. Please come along and say hello, or just observe. We’d LOVE to see you, and offer you that FREE drink!
Organised by Packington Memorial Hall Venues Management Committee in conjunction with our village Groups and Societies..

PMHV Travels in Time
A brand new feature of google maps allows people to see the street view at different periods in time. We have been very fortunate that the car taking the pictures went through Packington in 2009, as the hall was being re-built. So now we can see the hall being reconstructed into the modern events venue that it is today:
Not only is the building work visible but a closer look at the picture shows the original sign from the 1959 building that was kept and is now incorporated into the main entrance of the new hall, just look up when going through the front doors.
We’re very fortunate that this year has seen further expansion of the hall to create a new storage area for equipment which will allow for more village events to take place, this is scheduled for completion in the coming weeks.
