THE REVLON GIRL

Eight months after the Aberfan Disaster of 1966, in which 144 people were killed (116 of them children), a group of bereaved mothers meet weekly above a local hotel to talk, cry and even laugh without feeling guilty. At one of their previous meetings, the women looked at each other and admitted how much they felt they’d let themselves go. Afraid that people will think them frivolous, they’ve secretly arranged for a representative from Revlon to come and give them a talk on beauty tips....

Contactless Payment
No spare cash to spend at the bar or pay for raffle ticket?
Fear not, The Hoghton Players have got you covered!
We now accept card / mobile phone payments at The Hoghton Village Hall.
Please help to Improve "our Home"
To provide an extra entrance to the Village Hall which will allow access to each meeting room separately.
New toilets will be provided with this project with full disabled facilities.
Cloakroom and toilet facilities will be accessed from either meeting
room.
Separate groups using the hall will no longer need to share the entrance for access to their meeting rooms. All materials will meet environmentally green criteria and fixtures and fittings will be low water usage and low voltage lighting and power.
Windows and doors will also meet up to date insulated standards. The eventual external features will fit in with the existing building and meet planning for the area.
