WELCOME TO MOULTON
The Parish Council and Villagers wish you a warm welcome to Moulton. There is a real community spirit in the village with lots of events and activities with which to get involved.
The new village hall was opened on the 4th September 2010 and the facility has attracted lots of local group meetings and activities as well as being a superb venue for parties and celebrations, workshop and seminars.
During the week the hall is busy most of the day and every evening with fitness, scouts, dance, dog training, bridge, upholstery classes, toddlers and lots more including a pre-school 3 mornings a week. At weekends there is under 10 and under 12 football on Saturday and adult football on Sundays (the facility provides changing rooms and hot showers!
The village is very proud of the new hall it is a great asset to this thriving community
Mike and Kathy Dillon run the village shop and post office which is the hub of the community. Their Coffee Club allows residents, visitors and local businesses the opportunity to have a coffee or tea (and a fresh Danish pastry) and sit and chat with friends and acquaintances outside the shop. For families there is a picnic bench in the corner of the playing fields where you can enjoy your drink and keep the children safe.
