Push to keep former church open as community space

People in the South are being encouraged to get behind plans to keep Ballafesson Hall open as a community space.

It's after members of Ballafesson Chapel, near Castletown, voted to stop using the building as a place of worship.

A new group, Friends of Ballafesson Community, says if the hall can't be put to use for events within a year, it'll be sold on the open market.

It's hoping to use the building for things like soup lunches and charity functions - you can find contact details to rent the hall via our website.
