Local Groups

The village hall also has a volunteer run library in the small hall where you can borrow books using your Surrey Libraries card.

Beare Green Community Link Library is open on Wednesdays from 1.00pm to 2:30pm, and on Fridays from 10:00am to 11:30am.

We have 500 books including large print which can be borrowed free of charge for three weeks.

In the corridor of the hall past the toilets, is the village bookshare.  You can donate books in good condition by placing them on the shelves here, and take a book away with you to borrow or keep, whenever the hall is open for any purpose.  There is no need or ability to log what books you donated or took, and you don’t need a library card, as this is not the library. 

Amy Miller Yoga has spaces on the open classes at Beare Green Village Hall (front hall) on Mondays at 8:15pm-9:15pm, and every Thursday at 9:30am to 10:30am.  I teach Hatha Yoga – this is the description of most forms of yoga taught today, as simply put, it is any style of yoga that uses physical postures (asanas).  There is an element of Vinyasa Flow - literally meaning 'to place in a special way', vinyasa is a popular style of yoga that links the asanas of hatha into a flowing sequence.

Cost - £10 drop in for 1 hour (no need to commit to a number of sessions).
