“Village Secrets”

William Wood

Lead: Chris

Many years ago on holiday in Cumbria, author William Wood was enchanted by a village not unlike that portrayed in this book.  “Imagine what it would be like to live here,” he said to Anna, his wife.  Neither ever dreamed this dream would come true.

Their eventual move to their dream village in Cumbria produced another shock: Anna’s unexpected death.  This was followed by the Covid epidemic and the resulting isolation.  William sought solace in writing  the stories in this new book.  They all take place in and around the Eden Valley, beginning with events that happened, or might have happened, during the epidemic.  They continue right up to the present day.

There is satire and humour, sadness and sorrow, wry observations, and longer serious tales.  All of it is fictional, the product of William’s imagination.

All welcome – no fees – just come along to listen even if you have not read the book.

ATG Activities

We will be working with local landowners to identify small areas of land that can be used to plant trees or hedges. Occasional requests will go out to members, seeking volunteers to survey areas of land to assess the age and health of trees and to identify possible planting areas, as well as to take part in planting trees and hedges. These activities will normally be scheduled to last for no more than three hours.

The Tree Group has insurance to cover members carrying out these activities.

COVID Policy (Feb.2022)

Unfortunately Covid-19 has not gone away, and we still want everyone to feel safe whilst being able to enjoy the film.

  • We use ‘cabaret-style’ seating around suitably spaced tables.
  • We recommend that you continue to wear a face covering when moving around the village hall, though this may be removed whilst you are seated.
  • It would also be appreciated if you could complete an antigen (lateral flow) test before attending.  (We are more than happy to refund your ticket should your test unfortunately prove positive.)
