A Refreshed Heart for the Community: St Oswald’s Church Hall Reopens

There’s a special kind of joy that comes from seeing something old made new again. After many months of dreaming, planning, and hard work, we’re delighted to share that the renovation of St Oswald’s Church Hall in Tile Hill is complete.

Our hall has always been more than just a building. It’s where birthday cakes have been cut, friendships formed, ideas sparked in community meetings, and where local groups have found a space to belong. Over the years, it had begun to show its age, but today, it stands refreshed a warm, versatile space ready for a new chapter in the life of our community.

The transformation is striking. Freshly painted walls, new flooring underfoot, and smart new doors have breathed life back into the hall, making it a brighter, more welcoming place for everyone who walks through its doors. None of this would have been possible without the generous donations we've received proof that this space truly matters to the people it serves. This project has reminded us how much can be achieved when we invest in places that bring people together. And now, we’re excited to see how this space will continue to serve especially in partnership with local businesses who share our heart for community. Whether it’s hosting workshops, pop-ups, or collaborative events, we see the potential for great things ahead.

We know that good things happen when people come together with purpose. As we celebrate this new chapter for St Oswald’s Hall, we look forward to writing the next one with our neighbours local, loyal, and full of life.

Before-and-after photos say more than words ever could, and we’re proud to include them here. But even more powerful is the sense of possibility in the air. If you haven’t visited in a while, come and see what’s new. The kettle’s always on.
