An acoustic survey found that the hall had less than ideal reverberation levels of 1.9 seconds - more than double the optimum for village halls.

A local company, Woolly Shepherd Ltd were identified as the chosen supplier due to their prior experience in village hall acoustics and not least because their products are made almost totally from sheep’s wool.  Wool as a byproduct from the local farming community was not lost on the committee and was a factor in the decision.

Our past fundraising successes enabled the acoustics panels to be a scheduled part of the ongoing improvements to the hall. As a result twenty-four circular acoustics panels have now been installed and the hall has been resurveyed.

The results are in!

We are delighted that the reverberation levels have now been reduced to less than half, from 1.9 to 0.8 seconds. The effect in the hall is immediately noticeable, and has been commented on by several people, including the weekly Thursday afternoon Pilates classes.

Why not come to the next event at the hall where you will see and hear the difference.  You will be supporting your parish hall and the local community at the same time.
