On 29th November 2025 a friendly band of Hainford-ians turned out to the Village Hall for the 2nd showing of archive film from the 1960's & '70's. Village Hall Committee members provided film-showing equipment & refreshments.Some people were seeing the films for the first time and recognised family and friends and even the name of the dog featured on a walk!Additionally, snippets were read from a 1980’s archived radio show interviewing villagers. Memories rekindled were: The Forget-me-nots; Bingo prizes of 50p with 45 punters, bed pans and a great uncle!

*******New Group for Hainford:Following that success a new group has met to discuss Hainford history. The next meeting is on Monday 19th January 2026 at the village hall, 2-4pm, if you wish to come along just turn up.*******

A great crowd of audience singers attended the third Christmas concert of your local ukulele band - The Hugs. The village hall rang out with Christmas Number 1’s with a Sleigh Ride Medley and Snow Shanty really getting the voices going. Warmed mulled wine and mince pies helped.

We were also treated to a lovely vocal rendition of Santa Baby (along with the cheeky sexy bits) from Niamh Church. who also shared some Christmas poems throughout the evening.

With your help the grand sum of £291.16 was raised and donated to village hall funds. Keep a look out for the next Hugs concert. We are going from strength to strength as a band and really appreciate our loyal band of followers.

Many of you will know or remember that our lovely pub The Hainford Chequers was destroyed by fire in 1987 and tragically a young Firefighter Christopher Betts lost his life whilst trying to control the fire.

Christopher was the last firefighter in Norfolk to lose his life on active service, we pray this continues forever.

The Red Plaque Project alongside the Fire Service place Red Plaques at sites in memory and respect of firefighters who lost their life in the line of duty. The family of Christopher have received this honour and a Plaque will be placed at The Chequers on Monday 1st December 1pm .
It would nice to see a few villagers there to honour his memory and pay their respects. Everyone welcome

No nice way of saying this, if people continue to not clean up after their dogs then the Village Hall Committee will have no option than to ban all dogs from the field.

There are some sessions when the hall is not being used. The Committee would like suggestions of activities that could be held, or if villager would like to run an activity themselves. This could be a one off training session such as First aid for humans or even pets, or an ongoing activity such as Tai Chi or a painting group.
We welcome your suggestions

Following on from our very successful and popular Hainford history film night, our local historian Sarah Mees has been digging deep into local archives

“In 1983 the BBC compiled a series of radio broadcasts called Norfolk Village voice and one was in Hainford. Locals were interviewed and can be listened to at the Norfolk record office. One interviewee was the headmistress of Hainford lower school and included in the broadcast was a musical interlude by the pupils age 5 to 8 years old. Accompanied by piano they played recorders and sing a song about something dancing in the garden. Were you at the Hainford school in May 1983? And did you take part? Do you know which song it was? Wouldn’t it be fun to re-create that musical Interlude?”
