Keep in Touch With Coldridge, Devon
It can sometimes be difficult to see/find out what's going on in a 'sleepy' little Parish like Coldridge, so as a remedy I've prepared a one page 'Keep-In-Touch' guide with details of the locations of our key Parish information and publicity/social media channels.

Welcome to the new Coldridge Village Hall website!
On behalf of the Coldridge Village Hall Committee I am pleased to announce the launch of our new Village Hall Website – www.coldridgevillagehall.org.uk .
This website is intended provide a ‘shop window’ for all things relating to Coldridge Village Hall, with information about the hall, the groups who use it, its facilities, Village Hall events and the services available to Coldridge residents.
The Coldridge Village Hall website is intended to run alongside the monthly Coldridge Calendar, our “What’s on in Coldridge Devon” Facebook community page and here on the Coldridge Parish Website.
The website is newly constructed and as such, like housetraining a new puppy, there may be a few initial upsets or desirable improvements that could be made. So, if you have a moment in the coming days please grab a ‘hot beverage’, click-on the new Village Hall website link and have a look around the site. If there’s something you’re not sure about, or if you would like to share any observations or suggestions for improvements, please drop me a line at cvhwadmin@coldridgevillagehall.org.uk.
My thanks to the Village Hall Committee Officers, our Village Hall User Group representatives and other content providers for their support and assistance in getting us here today.

Thank-you to all who joined us at our Fete Open Meeting on 15th March - your contributions and support is always appreciated.
As a result of that meeting, I am pleased to announce that our next Coldridge Fete, Vintage Rally, Flower Festival & Dog Show will be held on Saturday 29th June 2024. It was also agreed that proceeds from the 2024 Fete will be shared between Coldridge Village Hall & St Matthew's Church Fabric Fund.
Preparations are now underway, and we plan to hold a further Open Meeting to review our progress later in November. In the meantime, any further fete related news or requests will be shared with the community through the Coldridge Calendar and via parish social media, with more on the next Open Meeting nearer the time.
Thanks once again, and in anticipation of a calm, dry, sunny day on Saturday 29th June 2024!
