More About The Hall

Ideal for community, family, business, sport and leisure events and meetings, this thoughtfully designed modern new hall has a clean, fresh and airy feel, with high ceilings and lots of great light. Hire of the hall comes with or without use of the tables and chairs, which can stay neatly hidden in the store cupboard if not required.  Three large picture windows look out onto the patio, garden and village fields beyond. Skylight windows in the ceiling also open up to allow fresh air to circulate.
