ABOUT US
Running and funding our hall
The hall was built in 1931 and has been hosting village events and activities for nearly 90 years.
​
We have an enthusiastic management committee, who have recently delivered improved hall facilities, and are working on more. We welcome new clubs and events and want the hall to continue to be at the heart of the community.
​
Regular events and activities include visits from the mobile library, the Rag Tag Toddler Group and Art classes, with monthly meetings of the Parish Council, Snitterfield Garden Club; Women’s Institute (WI), Snitterfield Actioning Climate Change (SACC); Community Cafe and Rural cinema.
In addition, the hall runs fundraising events throughout the year led by the Village Hall Committee to raise much needed funds towards the upkeep and improvements to the hall.
HALL IMPROVEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT
A Real Success
We are delighted, that we have now completed the necessary refurbishments and improvements to the village hall.
​
Plans were drawn up and approved in 2015, with overwhelming support received during the public consultation.
​
After years of fundraising and grant applications Snitterfield Village Hall now
provides an excellent space for our regular events and hirers.
​
Our refurbishments have included the revamping of our the existing toilets, refurbishing the store rooms and adding an extension to incorporate an easy access toilet.
We then upgraded the kitchen in our main hall,
improved our insulation and redecorated the main hall.
​
The final part of the project was to replace the rear meeting room with an enlarged Garden Room
at a cost of £240,000
​
The overall cost of all the work was £415,00 and we are really proud of our hard work and success
The project progress can be see here

RUNNING OUR HALL
Snitterfield Village Hall Management Commitee
Snitterfield Village Hall is in the heart of the community and the day to day running of the hall is under the care of the management committee. This is a volunteer committee who maintain the fabric of the building on behalf of the Parish Council through the hiring of facilities and fundraising.
The aim of the committee is to create a welcoming community centre for all members of the village and other users of the facilities.
We are a small band of volunteers and would welcome anyone who would like to join us either on the committee or to help with specific events.
