The Village Hall

The History of the Hall

The Village Hall was built in 1956 as a replacement for the Village Institute.  The Institute, a tin building, and formerly the laundry of Yarlet School, was erected in Park Lane in 1909.  It was demolished in 1999.  In 1952 Captain Charles Fletcher-Twemlow donated land for a new village hall.  The people of the village raised almost £4000 for the construction of the new building.  Clay and Sons built the Village Hall, but volunteers helped with clearance, drainage, car park layout and decoration.  The Hall was opened on 26th January 1957.  It has since been extended to include a permanent stage.

A meeting place for everyone - a village asset

The village hall has been refurbished during recent years and has double-glazing, new chairs and a new loop system.  It is a registered charity, but both regular and casual bookings bring in much-needed income.  Special fundraising events for the whole community are held regularly.  The village hall has a president and a committee made up of members from all the organisations which use the hall, such as the Gardening Guild, WI, Parish Council and Parochial Church Council.
