Whats happening at the Pavilion?
January 2024 - The Community Hub is now operational, and all parish residents are invited to visit from Tuesday to Thursday, between 9am and 2pm. Head over to the "What's On" page to explore the latest news and event guide!
December 2023 - We were excited to announce that we had begun work on a new refreshment station located near the reception area of the Community Hub. This new addition will allow residents to easily access and enjoy refreshments during their visits.
November 2023 - November has brought a wave of positive changes to Broughton Pavilion. We are thrilled to announce our success in securing Section 106 funding, which has given us the opportunity to enhance and improve the pavilion's facilities for our residents.
Our first project was the construction of a canopy at the back of the building. This new addition, along with the benches, will create a perfect spectator area for various activities taking place on the field, while also providing a sheltered space for parents picking up their children from Chipmonks Pre-School.
Our next project will focus on enhancing the vast foyer area. We plan to build a new meeting room, create an internet access area, and add a comfortable seating area. Stay tuned for more exciting updates coming soon!
