The Hall was built as a single storey building in 1873 as a reading room for men who worked in the village. A second floor was added after the First World War in memory of those who gave their lives. During the Second World War, the Hall was used as a kitchen but closed shortly afterwards. The Hall re-opened in 1956 and has been used ever since as a Village Hall. The land for the car park was purchased in 1970, having previously been the Bowling Green. The single storey extension (surgery, toilet block and skittle alley) was added in 1978.

A Fire Alarm Sytem was installed at th e beginning of 2011 for the additional protection of users

Insurance
The Hall has Public Liability Insurance protecting the hirer against injury or damage caused by defects in the Hall structure. However the organiser of an event should also consider separate Public Liability Insurance to cover accidents to their attendees.

Car Parking
There is a large car park to the rear of the Hall with more than 40 marked spaces for Hall users.

Cleanliness
All Hall users are asked to leave the Hall in the state in which they would wish to find it. Basic cleaning materials (dustpan, brush, vacuum cleaner, mop etc.) are provided for this purpose.

Smoking
Smoking is not permitted anywhere in the building. A smoking bin is provided just outside the main hall doors for the disposal of cigarette butts.

Alcoholic Bar Facilities
We have a Alcohol Licence and a separate bar. If you wish to serve alcohol you must advise this at the time of booking and there is a charge of £25. You may provide your own stock and operate the bar yourself. Alternatively, we may be able to support you in this - for further information please consult our Booking Clerk.
