About Us

The aim of the Feast of ale is to celebrate the cultural and culinary heritage of Hampshire with a great range of interesting local ales and ciders.

We've chosen the end of Harvest time for the Feast of ale as it's the start of Autumn - a time for reflection as the leaves drop, the nights draw in and we roll on to the end of another year and think about the coming winter.

The time of summer beer festivals has gone. Now it is time for warming and characterful ales which will hint at the stronger flavours of Winter ales, beers which make the palate comfortable, beers which are tasty and smooth without carrying enough alcohol to power a steam train.

Autumn is also the time of the new harvest of barley and hops and a few enterprising brewers release ales which take advantage of this fresh new crop - the beers have a freshness and tanginess which set taste-buds quivering. We hope you enjoy our selection and take some time to reflect on your surroundings and appreciate nature's bounty.

SOME HISTORY OF THE VILLAGE HALL
The Village Hall was originally six cottages, which were donated to the parish by Revd A G Barker to the good of the people of Sherfield-on-Loddon. The middle four were changed into the Hall in 1909 by his wife and sons in his memory, and a plaque and portraits of the benefactors may be seen inside the building.

The Garden Room and cloakroom facilities were a later addition. The smaller Liddell Hall was opened in 1991 and was built by Berkeley Homes as a further facility, following the building of the houses in Pound Meadow. Please note, Sherfield Village Hall operates a No Smoking policy.

All money raised will go to St Michaels Hospice Sherfield Village Hall.
