Activities

Church services are normally held on the fourth Sunday of the month at 11 am. Langton is well known for its annual candlelit carol service which takes place on the first Sunday after Christmas at 6pm and is followed by refreshments in the Village Hall. All are very welcome to this informal service which carries on a tradition dating from long before electricity came to Langton in the mid 1950's. (Note that the Carol Service will NOT take place in December 2010 as the Group's Christmas service will take place on Christmas Day this year only)

Although Langton is only a small community The Village Hall is the centre for some thriving activities, listed below. It is hoped that these activities will increase now that the Hall has been renovated.

Village Hall Renovation

Extensive renovation work added modern kitchen and toilet facilities to the Village Hall in 2009.

These improvements make for a thoroughly attractive hall and are a luxurious change from the previous rather simple facilities. The hall is now an attractive venue for all sorts of activities and can be hired at very modest cost.

Anyone interested in hiring the hall should please contact Ian and Shirley Whitworth. (01790 754355)
