Originally opened in December 1997 the hall is an impressive space which pleasantly surprises many of our visitors. We have the potential to host almost any event, can accommodate groups for many activities and of varying sizes. As the building is a single level facility with wide doors, disabled toilet facilities and no stairs either inside or out we are proud to boast that we are fully accessible to all.

 

Our main hall, which is the key surprise of the building is huge and is used to host exercise classes, football training, youth club, toddler group and for children’s parties and training. Please click on the Home tab for details of our regular organised groups, activities and events. For information about hiring the Hall for parties or special occasions, visit our Venue Hire tab.

 

The meeting room is equipped with tables and chairs and comfortably seats 12 but can be reconfigured to accommodate different group sizes. We have equipment available to use such as projector and screen, laptops, flipchart stand and have wi-fi throughout the building making it ideal for small meetings, training sessions or group work.

​

Our well-equipped kitchen offers a range of meals, snacks and beverages at very reasonable prices during our meetings, weekly and special events. It is also available for events caterers at a small fee.  Our coffee machine which offers speciality coffees made with freshly ground coffee beans is accessible whenever the hall is open. We have a fully licensed bar called Hedley's, available for special events and private hire. 

 

Our newly renovated outdoor space now boasts a children's play area and a vast patio area, where you can relax at our special events with a cocktail, glass of wine or refreshing drink to enjoy the tranquility with stunning views.

 

The village hall is managed by a committee comprised of residents from Quaking Houses and South Moor. The committee, which has changed over the years, annually elects members to key positions of chairperson, vice chair, secretary and treasurer. Currently these positions are held respectively by Dennis Pattison, David Gallagher and Sarah Blackburn. We are currently looking for a new Treasurer. The committee always welcomes new members and would love to hear from anyone who can bring new ideas, increase our expertise and knowledge base and who is keen to get involved in improving their local community.
