Blacksmith’s Arms re-opening

Blacksmith's Arms

It is with much pleasure that Simon & Tracy announce that the Blacksmiths Arms will be opening again from Monday lunchtime, 6th July.

Of course things will have to be different.  A one way system will be in place, all customers are to be seated, no dogs or small children are permitted in the pub but dogs are allowed in the beer garden. Numbers of customers will also be limited.  Food will be served, via bookings only, on Mon, Wed, Fri and Sat evenings and for Sunday lunch.  Sunday lunch deliveries still available for the village.

I’m sure we will all give Simon and Tracy the support they need whilst they implement all the new requirements and restrictions.  Please be patient.

St. Leonard’s starts to re-open

St Leonard's Church

Good news!

At long last we are able to unlock the Church doors and invite you to spend some time inside for private prayer and contemplation.   Due to the extra cleaning regimes we are required to put in place, St. Leonard’s will initially be open every Tuesday and Saturday between 10.00am and 4.30 pm.   We look forward very much to welcoming you all back. 

 The Churchyard continues to be cared for and remains open everyday for you to visit and spend some quiet time in reflection there.

Broadband for Farlington

All of the local residents who have lived in Farlington for more than two years may remember that David carried out a survey of the Broadband speeds that were available to telephone users in our immediate area.  The results were used to reinforce our arguments for a Fibre link from Stillington (or Sherrif Hutton) to Farlington.  The situation has moved on and BT considers that it has fulfilled its commitment to provide HSBB to local rural areas but we do not appear to be receiving the, frequently promised, improved connectivity. Members of the Parish Meeting are attempting to re-energise the work and need current figures to prove that we have no better Broadband than we had 3 or 4 years ago.

Village Hall – Hire

Farlington Village Hall

Farlington village hall sits opposite St Leonards Church on the village green.  It dates back to the 1800’s and was left to the village in perpetuity by the Methodist Church.  It was once the village school.

The hall became a registered charity in 1964 and has four Managing Trustees.  It has been sympathetically restored whist trying to retain some original features.  There is a small main hall with wood burner, tables and chairs and a well-stocked kitchen with microwave, coffee machine and fridge.  

Although we do not have mains water, this is provided via water containers.  There is a portaloo for your convenience.

Events are held in the village hall throughout the year to include music nights, pop-up tea room, jumble sales and supper nights.  Upcoming events are advertised here on our website.

If you are interested in hiring the hall for an event or meeting, please email secretary@farlington.org.uk.  The price is £10 per hour.
