WHO USES TANSLEY VILLAGE HALL?

Tansley Village Hall was the setting for a recently-filmed slot in How to Look Good Naked, Channel 4's popular makeover programme presented by fashion guru Gok Wan and produced by Maverick TV.

The hall also provides a venue for theatrical performances by Chatsworth Players, High Tor Players, Tansley Players and Tangere Arts. It hosts the village pantomime and primary school plays and provides a venue for parents' meetings.

Tansley Village Hall is also a venue for Live & Local, a not-for-profit arts organisation working with voluntary groups across Derbyshire, Warwickshire and Staffordshire.

It is also a great place for private parties and receptions - adults' and children's birthday parties, christenings, wedding and funeral receptions.

Tansley Village Hall is the hub of village life and a place where a lot of people have a lot of fun. There have been barn dances, salsa classes, folk-dancing, belly-dancing and even a medieval banquet complete with hog roast!

The hall is home to a variety of activities such as tai chi, pilates, chair-based exercise, whist drives, and bingo. It is also used by Tansley's Garden & Countryside Club, Film Club, Ladies Group, and Tuesday Club.

It is an ideal location for fundraising events such as table-top sales, cream teas, auctions and quiz nights.

It is used for church events such as the harvest supper and by the local council for public meetings.

HOW TO LOOK GOOD NAKED - IN TANSLEY VILLAGE HALL!

An episode of How to Look Good Naked featuring Tansley Village Hall was shown on Channel 4 on Monday 23rd November 2009.

Television production company Maverick spent Friday July 17th inside and outside Tansley Village Hall filming the feature slot. Production staff were joined by some 50 women for the filming, which had as its central theme beauty and fashion since the 1940s. The Village Hall was set out in a period style - wooden chairs and trestle tables, no electric clock, plastic or aluminium.

The TV series, presented by fashion guru Gok Wan, shows women how to look great with their clothes on or off no matter what their body shape. Gok, who once weighed 21 stone himself, knows what it’s like to be self-conscious about body image!

Portable Planetarium comes to Tansley!

On Wednesday morning, 16th June 2010, all the children at Tansley Primary School enjoyed an educational show in a portable planetarium within Tansley Village Hall.

The different year groups attended separate shows tailored specifically for their age-range.

Head Teacher Tracey Holmes said "It was a wonderful experience that inspired the children in learning about astronomy and the universe as part of the school's Science Week."

The inflatable Super-Dome planetarium was supplied, set-up and operated by Astrodome. One of the presenters will return to the school to answer more of the children's questions.
