Welcome to the Abbotts Ann War Memorial Hall Web Site (This Page last Updated on 13th January 2025)
Thank you for your interest in our village hall and you are in the right place to find out more about it..
Whether you are a regular user or are hiring the hall for the first time, we want you to find everything you need to make your time here enjoyable.
We are lucky to have a number of regular users as well as parties and other events so that the hall is well used and we are able to invest the proceeds from the hire of the hall into refurbishing and upgrading the facilities year on year.
We are at the centre of the village both geographically and figuratively, and we would ask that you and your guests are sensitive and respect our neighbours especially at night.
The day to day running and maintenance of the hall is managed by the Hall committee and overseen by trustees. The running and upkeep of the hall is financed mainly by:-
- Renting out the hall for most types of function
- Grants from local councils, private bodies and commercial companies
- Organising public events
- Abbotts Ann Nursery School during term time.
- Hosting the Abbotts Ann Players drama group
