Licensing of music/TV

The Village Hall has PRS For Music and PPL licences. These cover the playing of live and recorded music (for non-commercial purposes). If other licences are required in respect of any activity e.g. a TV licence, PPL for playing recorded music for a commercial activity or event, the hirer must obtain them.

 

 

HOW IS TANSLEY VILLAGE HALL USED?

The hall is a key part of village life and a place where lots of people enjoy themselves. There have been barn dances, plays, pantomimes and concerts.  

Regular activities include tai chi, sequence dancing, yoga, zumba, pilates and cinema.

It is a good place for private parties and receptions — adults' and children's birthday parties, christenings, wedding celebrations and funeral receptions.

Tansley Village Hall is a venue for Live & Local, a not-for-profit arts organisation working with voluntary groups across Derbyshire and other counties to stage music events.

 

HOW TO LOOK GOOD NAKED was held at 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.

The Head Teacher 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.
