A big thank you to Rachel Green (KVH bookings manager) bookings@kabervh.com for pulling together a list of events for the coming year of events planned in the Hall.

This year we have tried to focus on events that have been well supported in the past – please come along and support the community and enjoy some good chat (and often edible treats!)

Remember if you have ideas for an event you would like to book the hall for, or run, then please just contact Rachel – and we have special discounted rates for local folk and regular events.

Kaber Show – a note from your Treasurer

Kaber Village Hall Show – a result to be proud of.

After the final counting and calculations I’m delighted to announce that the total profit (to help run the hall) from yesterday’s show, including a very generous donation of £100 from Appleby Castle Estates is £301.38 an excellent result.

While the income for the hall is most welcome, I think that the community spirit shared is probably the most valuable result of the day.

Huge thanks must of course go to the organisers, amazing judges and steward, Stuart Hird and his band of men for transporting and erecting the gazebo and barbecue.

The greatest thanks though go to all the bakers, crafters, gardeners, photographers and multi-talented children who took the time to be creative and to enter.

Thanks also to those who attended on the day, enjoyed coffee and company and the results of Colin and Wendy Belsey’s hard work on the BBQ.

Kaber Show – thank you all

What a fine day !

A few pictures from Kaber Show 2026, and a short notes to say some thank-yous…

  1. Thank you to Sarah for masterminding the event, and her team for making it happen – (from cleaning the hall and masking it ready – to work on the day).
  2. Thank you to everyone for their entries (what a skilled set of folk you are); crafters, bakers, artists, photagraphers, and makers – without you there would be no show.
  3. Thank you to the Belseys for “chefing” the barbecue
  4. To Stuart for providing transport for gazebo and barbecue
  5. To the ground crew for erecting and dismantling the “Heggerscale Community Gazebo”.

Congratulations to the winners – we will publish lists on the noticeboards in the coming days. But Val Walton deserves a mention now for being overall class points winner and Kyle for being overall junior winner – Well DONE!

Community is SO important in making the world a better place – so events like this are really important, thank you all for helping.

Below are a few pictures of the event, if you have more please share them on the Kaber Village Whatsapp group or send them to webmaster@kabervh.com  and we will put them up here for everyone to see.

Thank you (and it even stayed dry).

Events, Spuds & Puddings

Quiz Night Food

Just a quick reminder that the next “do” at the hall is a Spuds & Puds Lunch on the 29th November (from Noon to 1:30pm) – it’s just £7:50 a head including coffee or tea, or you can bring your own drinks (I think Chardonnay is good with Baked potatoes!!!).

Assorted fillings for the baked spuds of course and a variety of puddings too – what’s not to like!

Come and enjoy some good winter food and company.

We circulated a list of planned events a month or so back, but if you have lost that poster, then just check the website to see all the currently planned events from now to September 2026!!!!

Well that went well!

Huge Thanks to all the Community who contributes entries, attended or helped with the event.  Well Done! We were even blessed with sunshine.

Sarah L deserves a special vote of thanks as the person who masterminded all the organisation and did most of the pre-event work and organised food and everything. …and a thank-you to the Heggerscale crew from “up the hill” for lending their tent and barbecue that they had clubbed together to make/buy,…

Congratulations to the winners – a great selection, demonstrating the skills in the community…. and especially to Val Walton for being overall winner and continuing a long tradition of the Waltons competing and winning!
