Compton Village Hall Refurbishment

By the end of September, the Village Hall will emerge from several weeks of intense activity and hard work having been completely redecorated, inside and out, and a new kitchen installed and equipped with a catering-size oven and a deep freeze.

The redecorating has been carried out by Paul McCann of Westbrooke Decorators who has had to juggle with hirings that couldn’t be moved and the ongoing works in the kitchen. It has been done to a high standard. The iron railings have been rubbed back to the original metal and given three coats of appropriate gloss paint, the exterior doors and woodwork treated with at least three coats of paint. Walls, ceilings and windows in the main hall, the committee room and the toilets were given a new lease of life. We cannot praise Paul highly enough for his professionalism and the quality of his work. Wren kitchens has supplied and installed the kitchen. The gas supply has had to be upgraded to take account of the larger hob and oven. As expected, all this work has come at a considerable cost and has been made possible by the generous contributions over the years by the Village Association from the proceeds of the Fete.

The village can be proud of this valuable asset which is well managed by a team of dedicated and enthusiastic Trustees. It is regularly hired out, at very reasonable rates, particularly if you are a Compton resident and enjoy a concession! Weddings and parties, meetings, seminars and classes, are all accommodated. To hire the Hall, book online here or contact our bookings secretary at cvhbookings26@gmail.com.

Compton Village Hall is a well maintained traditional hall with capacity for 150 standing, 130 theatre style or 80 seated at tables.  Apart from several regular hirers the Hall is host to numerous one off events including meetings, children’s parties, adult classes, weddings, drama, choirs, band practices etc.

The Hall is a registered charity (number 200313) for the benefit of residents within Compton Parish and outside the parish.  It is overseen by a Management Committee including representatives of local organisations and elected members.  They meet four times a year.

The Hall has public liability insurance, a full premises licence and a ‘The Music Licence’ previously known as a PRS/PPL licence.

Compton Village Hall has an online booking system that allows prospective hirers to check on availability then make a booking request.  Before you do this you should view the Information for Hirers and Conditions of Hire
