Fridays at 1.30pm - 3.30pm
The Giggle Patrol is for our community, to gather together to enjoy some company and have a Giggle or two. We could be in the kitchen making pizza or cake. Or maybe playing a game or sharing a craft, it’s up to you. We will invite various guests to come and offer some enlightenment or entertainment. All we ask is £2. We have no plan other than gathering together and seeing where it will organically go.
BSL can also be used with one member of our team should the need arise. Helen is qualified at Level 3.
We look forward to seeing you!

A little about our hall....
Ashingdon & East Hawkwell Memorial Hall is a large beautiful village hall situated between Rochford and Hockley close to Southend. It is available for hire for up to 120 people. It has been completely overhauled to meet Covid-19 guidelines and has had the floor renovated, which is perfect for dancing and exercise.
The committee has recently brought the hall to the forefront of the community, by holding community events to help families celebrate certain occasions through 2020 - 2025.
The Committee have achieved plans like bringing to the hall, Craft Fairs, Just Dance Fund raiser, a weekly Community Group called The Giggle Patrol, a Christmas Craft fair and a Santas Grotto . None of this can be achieved without the hard work of the committee and the support of our community.
The hall also needs some renovations, the roof needs repairing, the heating needs updating. The kitchen which is now back in use.
Our hall makes an Ideal Venue and is suitable for Children's Birthday Parties, Business Meetings, Fitness and Dance, Classes, Corporate Events, Quiz Nights, etc. It also has many added extras that make it such a user friendly hall to hire. A Sprung Maple dance floor, Stage area, Bar area which doubles as a serving area for food through its hatch to the hall (it has a microwave, coffee machine, Kettle, coffee cups and sink) Wheelchair accessible Disabled toilet, Children's play area behind hall (King George’s Playing Field), Large free car park, and free Wi-Fi.
We now have a separate room called our 'Room of Requirement' this is for smaller meetings, classes, meditation, craft clubs, health support clubs, and as an extension to the hall should it be required.
