The Friends of Halsway Manor support the activities of the Halsway Manor Society which is a charity. The Society needs income to maintain and improve the facilities of this lovely Manor, the adjacent Mews accommodation and the large surrounding gardens set in beautiful English countryside.
The Manor, parts of which date back to the 14th. century, is used by people of all ages to promote and sustain our most treasured heritage of music, song and dance. In addition, the library houses a wealth of folk song and dance history, which visitors are able to access.
Each subscription to the 200 Club of £12 results in £6 going to the Friends for the upkeep of Halsway Manor, whilst giving you the opportunity to win one of the four cash prizes in one of the bi-monthly draws.
Each year the 200 Club raises over £1000 for the Friends and distributes nearly £1000 to 24 lucky winners.
So, for the continued preservation of Halsway Manor, please join the friendly folk in the 200 Club.
Subscriptions are only £12 per year, which can be paid preferably by Bankers Order or cheque. You can take out as many subscriptions as you like. Please complete the 200 Club Membership Form (click blue text) - or print Brochure
