The village hall is now open again after the extension to the hall has been completed. This means the kitchen has been enlarged and now benefits from a dishwasher, 6 ring cooker with extraction hood, large fridge and a lot more storage.
We have also added a new meeting room upstairs with tea and coffee making facilities. This will seat 20 people with ease and allow meeting and presentations to be made by clubs and companies alike at very competitive rates. Hall user have always complained about the lack of storage facilities for equipment left between sessions so we also added a new storage room with shelving.
More details on hire rates and the hall are here: https://haslingfieldvillage.co.uk/village-hall/
