Moulton Village Hall

Village Hall, Bridge Street, Moulton, CB8 8SP

Moulton Village Hall The Village Hall was erected in 1955 and has served the community for more than 50 years. Located in the centre of the village it is used by a variety of local and national organisations supporting both young people and adults. In addition to the village-based organisations other groups also hire the Hall for occasional or regular functions, activities and training classes.

Plans are well advanced to build a new hall and, subject to raising the necessary funds, it is hoped that building work will start in the near future. Planning permission has already been granted and the plans are available for inspection by anyone interested in helping with the project.

Moulton Village Hall main hall The hall is adjacent to the village green with which it shares a car park that is suitable for about 20 cars if they are parked tidily. The village green can be used subject to approval of the Parish Council and the payment of the appropriate licence fee. The Hall has level access and there are no steps into the main hall. There is one step into the meeting room.

The main hall is approximately 8 metres X 14 metres and has a sealed wooden floor. It is marked with a badminton court and is well lit with both natural and artificial light.

Moulton Village Hall kitchen Chairs and tables are kept in a separate storage area so they do not impact on the floor size except when in use.

Behind the hall is a self-contained meeting room approximately 3 metres X 5 metres. The kitchen is fully fitted with a cooker, refrigerator and kettles. Crockery and cutlery is available but exact needs should be checked before hiring. There are separate Ladies and Gentlemen’s toilets but it should be noted that they have not been converted for disabled use.
