A village hall is preparing to reopen after a major makeover.
Higham Village Hall, a Grade II listed community building in Higham, has undergone an extensive refurbishment.
A community launch event will take place at 2pm on Saturday, April 25.
It will include a ribbon-cutting ceremony, building tours, a preview of a promotional film documenting the build, and afternoon tea and refreshments.
The improvements include a new rear storage extension, fully reconfigured and accessible toilet facilities, and an expanded modern kitchen.
Graham Fitton, treasurer of the Higham Village Hall Management Committee, said: "We can't speak highly enough of Kevin and his team.
"They have been absolutely brilliant throughout.
"What could have been a really disruptive project has been handled smoothly and professionally, and the regular users of the hall have been incredibly patient and accommodating.
"We are so excited to show everyone what has been achieved."
Visitors will also have the chance to share stories and photographs from the hall’s early days as a school, as the committee invites former pupils and members of the community to contribute their memories.
Penny Horne, grant manager at FCC Communities Foundation, said: "We're very pleased to support this project.
"It's exactly the kind of improvement the Landfill Communities Fund was set up to achieve, making sure vital community spaces are improved and protected for the future.
"We're really looking forward to seeing this one come to life."
The Mayor of Pendle will attend the event, which is open to all and does not require booking.
