Kettleburgh Harvest Hop
John & Mario returned to Kettleburgh Village Hall for the
second Harvest Hop, held on Saturday 29 October. They played a
wide variety of music from many different styles and cultures, and
soon had the harvest hoppers on their feet
dancing.
To encourage a sense of friendly competition,
first the ladies and then the men were invited to
dance:
After such exertion it was time for supper -
- served from the
kitchen
and maybe another visit to
the well-stocked
bar
There were some star turn dancers
-
- you can see many more reminders of the event on the
Gallery
page.
Thanks to all who helped in any way to make the evening so
enjoyable.

The Village Hall is looked after by a
management committee:
History
In 1924 an agreement was made between Henry George Walne of
Kettleburgh Hall to rent a piece of his land to Reverend R Davies
of Brandeston, John Goddard of Kettleburgh (farmer) and Herbert
Hill of Kettleburgh (Innkeeper).
Henry George Walne agreed to rent the piece of waste land,
"thirty yards long and eleven yards wide", for the term of thirty
years. The rent was to be one shilling a year payable yearly on the
sixth day of April. The tenants were to erect a room to be known as
"The Kettleburgh Parish Room" and this was to be used as a reading
room or for concerts and dancing or "any other kind of amusement or
parochial purposes".
Today this same building is known as Kettleburgh Village Hall
and used for many purposes, including scout meetings, quiz nights,
harvest suppers, the annual produce show, film evenings and various
village get-togethers.
If you would like to hire the hall, it costs a little more
than one shilling a year, but is still very reasonable!
