The Old Weston Village Hall

The village hall, along with The Swan public house next door, form the hub of our village community.

Indeed, the villagers built the hall in 1962, after the Beeby family generously donated the land to the village for the hall, car park and surrounding area.

The hall is managed by a committee who organize fund-raising events, oversee the maintenance, and its letting. The hall is regularly hired out for a wide variety of activities - from keep-fit to children's birthday parties and dog-training sessions.

Annually the NOWTS (New Old Weston Thespian Society) use it to stage the pantomime.

We also try to organize various events in the hall with the aim of getting together as many people from the village as possible. Such functions have included a ëStrictly Come Dancing evening with professional coaching, a casino night, murder mystery night with dinner, a night at the races, quizzes and hog-roasts. The church also uses the hall to host their popular all day breakfasts.

The hall has a capacity for 100 people seated or 120 standing. Its facilities include a large hall with raised stage, kitchen with newly installed double range oven, and toilet facilities.

The kitchen is also equipped with a fridge-freezer, a large serving hatch into the hall and enough crockery and cutlery for even the largest of parties! The large floor area and high ceiling make it suitable for Bouncy Castles, and there is an outside wooden play area for children with fenced boundary, in addition to a level field behind for picnics, outside activities etc. There are two large car parks. The hall is available to hire at very reasonable rates (£6.50 per hour before 5.00pm; £10 per hour after 5.00pm).

We are extremely fortunate to have this village facility and we have lots of ideas on how to improve it in the future - all we need is the continued support of the village.
