Village Hall
About the Hall
The hall is a social hub of village activities and many groups meet there. It is available for hire by the public.
​
The Village Hall consists of a large airy hall approximately 14m x 7m and high enough for indoor games, with a stage at one end. Outside there is a large car park and easy access to the childrens' play area.
​
The car park is a private car park and is for users of the Hall only.
​
The hall can accommodate approximately 70 people for a function using tables or around 100 if arranged theatre style. It is used, amongst many other things, for meetings, children' parties, pilates classes, quiz nights, theatre events and parish meetings.
