Village Hall

Contact and bookings                                                                      

The hall, centrally situated in the village, was refurbished after receiving a grant from the Lottery Fund, and has recently (2024) been further improved, with new toilets and an extended and fully equipped kitchen and bar area. This was realised with partial financial support from Longworth Parish Council and the Platinum Jubilee Village Halls Fund, made available through Action with Communities in Rural England (ACRE)

It complies with all regulations and has good disabled access and amenities. Other recent improvements have been a new boiler, blinds and a brand new cinema quality sound system, as well as a video projector. There is also a stage. High quality wifi is also available free of charge.

It is available for hiring for birthday parties, children’s parties, and fund-raising events, as well as discos, weddings and classes etc. at a reasonable price - see below.
