Take a stroll back in time this year to see the Victorian Christmas Trials at The Narth Village Hall on the afternoon of Saturday 14th December, when Gwent Magistrates will be re-enacting true cases as they appeared in Court back in the Victorian times.
Victorian Courts were rowdy, with cases being swiftly dealt with and sentencing being rather harsh on relatively minor crimes. Come and join in with the atmosphere and witness Justice as it was served during those times.
Audience participation and Victorian style dress is encouraged, even if it’s just a hat!
Tickets £5 in advance (£6 on the door, if available). Proceeds to be shared between Alzheimer’s Research UK (Gwent Magistrate’s selected charity) and The Narth Village Hall.
Doors and licensed bar open at 2 .30pm for a 3pm start.
Numbers are limited so please book in advance, phone Sue on 01600 860373 or use the booking form below: Continue reading
A few years ago, Mari realised she had disappeared. Shocked but undaunted, she’s decided to use this misfortune to her advantage. Get ready for red lipstick, rubber bands and retribution as Mari attempts to right the wrongs of her community.
But there’s something else behind her crusade. Can she make peace with the past to fix her present? Can she make herself visible to those who matter most to her?
The Invisible Woman is a one-woman dark comedy about ageing ungracefully and searching for significance, written by Ailsa Jenkins and inspired by her own disappearance. It is performed by Welsh actress Nicola Reynolds.
Doors and bar open 7.30pm for an 8pm start.
With apologies – the Ceilidh at the Hall has been postponed until later in the year. We are contacting everyone who has booked tickets.

Family Beetle Drive, June 2018
The Village Hall committee, all volunteers ourselves, rely on support from the rest of the village and appreciate all the help we get to keep things going at the hall. From the Glade Tavern volunteers to all the people hiring the hall for village groups, everyone contributes to maintaining our building and facilities, which in return provides everyone with a place for the social activities that are so important to our community.
I wanted to highlight two recent examples of events organised by people not on the committee which have benefitted the hall financially, while providing great, fun social occasions for people of all ages.
Alison and Mark Arnell and their team of young helpers raised £310 from the Big Breakfast, which was divided between hall funds and Home-Start Monmouthshire. (We have received a letter of thanks from Home-Start which stresses how valuable donations are to enable them to continue to support vulnerable families in the county.)
On 29th June, Rachel Widdicks and Mary Pardington organised the Family Beetle Drive, with food provided by Brendan Pardington. This raised £155 for hall funds, another valuable contribution.
But mostly, a full room with every generation joining in the fun – that’s what the Village Hall is all about.

Chair of Village Hall Committee
