Ashdown Café
The doors of the Ashdown Cafe are open once a month at Danehill Memorial Hall throughout the year (not August). It's run by local residents with coffee, tea, cakes and good conversation on offer! The cafe is a great opportunity to find out more about what's going on in our villages and to meet up with friends - old and new. We also welcome those who have art and craft skills to share, and from time to time there's musical entertainment provided by pupils from our wonderful primary school and a very talented local pianist.
The Ashdown Cafe is a community venture and we have been able to make donations to local organisations to help support their work.
Please come and join us on the second Friday of the month from 9.30am - 12 noon.

Once every half term on our programme we have a 'Hot Potato' night. For this evening we gather to discuss a hot social topic, time to look at different points of view, discuss and reflect. Everyone has a fee pot noodle too (no not a jacket potato!). In the summer term we combine together for a whole series of summer specials, in the past these have included sumo wrestling, water slide, charity car wash and of course our annual water slide and garden party. Full details can be seen by clicking the link above.
