Village Hall

Tucked away at the bottom of Hut Lane, and with a wonderful view over acres of unspoilt land, the Village Hall is the main communal meeting place for the village. It is a regular venue for societies as diverse as the Bowls Club, the Variety Club, the Horticultural Society etc.

The building is also the venue for more serious events such as regular meetings of the Parish Council and other committees. Village organisations use the hall for their AGM’s and the annual Village Assembly also meets here every Spring. The Hall can be hired at very competitive rates for private functions.

Parking

Parking for Hall users is permitted around the perimeter of the building. Please make full use of the rear of the Hall by double-parking if your party is leaving at one time. Or using the rear for the organisers of the event, who will be the last to leave. Parking is permitted in the adjacent lanes, but please ensure cars are parked sensibly, not obstructing any neighbouring driveways and that there is sufficient access for emergency vehicles. The Hire Agreement you will have signed does ask you to appoint a person to be responsible for parking. It will be helpful to our very patient neighbours and not spoil the enjoyment of your own guests if they are called out to move their vehicles.

Electricity

You will find meters in the lobby for the electric sockets and heating, these take £1 coins. The lighting is not on a meter so will not switch off. If for any reason, the power trips. The trip switches are above the front door and a master switch can be found in the top left hand corner of the meter cupboards.

New monthly Pop in and Craft sessions in the Village Hall

We’re pleased to share that a new Craft Group has started in the Village Hall — a relaxed and friendly space where everyone is welcome.

The sessions are free to attend, and each month two crafts are demonstrated. If you would like to join in, packs of supplies are provided for you to use during the session or take home and finish later — perfect for beginners as well as experienced crafters.

This month we’ll be making Raggy Dolls and focusing on upcycling projects, giving old fabrics and materials a new life.

The caf├® kitchen will be open from 10:00am, serving brunch, tea and coffee, homemade soup and a roll, hot dogs, and plenty of delicious cakes. Even if crafting isn’t your thing, it’s a lovely place to pop in for a late breakfast or lunch with friends.

All proceeds from the caf├® go directly to support HDCC

Why not pop in this Saturday from 10:00am and see what it’s all about?

For all upcoming dates, please check the calendar here.
