Farlington Village Hall is a lovely little space with a cosy log fire for those chilly winter evenings. It’s a perfect venue for around 20 people seated, or around 30 standing.
It has various facilities, which include a coffee machine with free coffee, a hot water urn and free tea, various chairs, benches, and tables, free fuel for the fire, and a portaloo.
As well as hosting the annual Parish AGM, the Village Hall has been used for a wide range of less formal events, including pop up summer cafes, christmas carols, pie n’peas night, and the curry night shown below.
So, as you can see the Village Hall is more than capable of adapting to most requirements. The question, is what could you use it for?
Hire charges for the Hall are a paltry £5/hour, with a minimum £10 charge.
To book the hall, please contact secretary@farlington.org.uk.
