Some recent hirer comments:
“What a
very nice venue, we cannot believe village halls look like this.”
“The
Wedding reception we have attended could not have been better in a 5 star hotel,
we are getting married soon can we book the hall?”
“We
wish we had a village hall like this.”
Here's a picture of the hall interior - specially decorated for a wedding - done

The hall is available for hire at competitive rates. Details of hire rates and terms can be obtained from the booking clerk – Ms J Peart on (01427) 880460
MANAGEMENT
The hall’s constitution allows for a management committee comprising
representative members of village organisations. Village representatives are
also included. The committee meets
quarterly to manage the hall’s affairs, fix hire rates and most importantly
arrange fund-raising events.
Each year officials are elected at an AGM – usually in April.
Vacancies often occur for interested members of the public and you are invited to make enquires. Contact the current chairperson Mrs C Tasker on (01427) 880758
