Throughout the year the Friends of Bank Hall Volunteers, open up the grounds for their program of event days (usually on Sundays) which has been a tradition for over 25 years in order to raise funds for the ongoing project of restoring the Hall.  Although the main Hall has now been restored vital funds are still needed to support the group with other ongoing restoration projects such as the Potting Sheds Project .
