Introduction to the 2023 survey

The Village Hall shared a survey for six weeks between 17th November and 5th January to gain feedback, ideas and opinions from users and potential users of the hall.

Conscious to be inclusive in the survey approach and be accessible to all age groups we placed 140 paper copies of the survey across the hall, Post Office, Village Store & Cafe and The Peacock Inn.

To provide digital participation, multiple posts on Tysoe Village Noticeboard and on Oxhill Village Community Facebook pages provided the ability for online completion. We are grateful to Tysoe Primary School and Tysoe Children’s Group for sharing details in their parent e-newsletters.  

We feel that all village adult age groups were given an opportunity to have their voice.

Some feedback from the survey:

• 75 responses were received - approximately 6% of Tysoe adult villagers
• 80% responded online 
• Responses varied from highly complementary to borderline offensive 
• 73% of responses came from those aged 46+ - even following extensive social media and advertising in school settings
• A wish to see Film Club return - the first film has already shown in the hall
• A wish to see more live music - of a very wide range of genres - more to come here
• A wide range of requests for new clubs and groups - for which the hall actively seeks owners to take forwards
• Over 60% of respondents wanted an option to book and pay for event tickets online - this is now in place
• Many wished for a single location to understand what is on at the hall - hopefully between physical noticeboards, Facebook, the new website and email list we cover 95%+ of the village 

To those that took the two minutes to respond and help shape the future of the hall, the committee is grateful. We look forward to welcoming visitors old and new to events, clubs and meetings held at this important village amenity.
