The village’s main hall, on Main Street. There is a main hall, an annexe and a kitchen, and the rooms can be hired individually or together.
What it costs
| What you are hiring | Per hour | Per day |
|---|---|---|
| Main Hall | £10.00 | £60.00 |
| Annexe | £5.00 | £40.00 |
| Whole hall | £15.00 | £80.00 |
| Kitchen | Included | Included |
The hall is hired for at least 1 hour at a time. You are charged whichever works out cheaper, the hourly rate or the day rate — you never pay more for a long booking than a day would cost.
Children’s events are free; a donation towards running costs is appreciated but never required.
Booking it
Anyone can hire the hall. You do not need an account and you do not need to be from the village.
That page has the availability calendar, the rates and the form, and explains what happens after you send a request. Please read the conditions of hire first — sending the form means accepting them.
What is on at the hall
Times already booked are not free to hire. The booking calendar shows what is available.
Nothing is in the diary for the next few months. If you are running something, please tell us about it.

The hall’s recent past. Village life happens here, and it is worth keeping a record of it rather than letting each thing disappear once it is over.
