Neighbourhood Café
The aim is to create a friendly atmosphere where everyone is welcome (including non-Hail Westoners), whether you already have lots of friends in the village or would like a chance to chat, meet neighbours, and make new friends.
Location: Hail Weston Village Hall
Time: 3:30 pm - 5:30 pm
Homemade cakes and warm drinks will be available – no charge, but donations towards costs are welcome.
Donations are often collected for charities or Hail Weston fundraising groups – see the notice on the day.
Sometimes we include a ‘special interest’ table to give us something extra to chat about.
Please get in touch if you’d like to come but have difficulty getting there or if you’d like to help on the day, make cakes or run a special interest table.

Church Restoration Group
St Nicolas Church
We have now produced a Statement of Significance, which is a document that lays out why the Church of St Nicolas is so important, both historically and to the local community.
The Statement of Significance is accompanied by a Statement of Need which explains why we feel that some re-ordering of the church is needed now. Both documents will be submitted shortly to the Diocese Advisory Council in Ely, along with some provisional sketches, and hopefully, once these are accepted, the first of our four projects will be underway officially.
In the meantime, there is plenty to do, including making provision during re-ordering for the welfare of the bats who live in and around the churchyard, seeking funding, organising a bank account, visiting other churches and learning from their experiences, and researching new ideas so that any changes will be sympathetic to the needs and character of our church in the centuries to come.
Getting everything pulled together will take time, but it is exciting to be taking these first steps and feel that our project is finally getting underway.
