Moulton Village Hall
Our old hall served us well for the best part of 60 years, but it is no longer standing as it has been replaced with a new state of the art air conditioned building, complete with changing rooms and a covered veranda.
The new building has a main hall similar in size to the old hall, however in addition there is a separate committee room with a sliding partition which will open onto the main hall. A fully fitted kitchen, (6m x 6m) with a glass washer, double serving hatches; one for food and one for beer will be provided with a back door onto the car park through which, all food and beer can be brought into the kitchen.
Full toilet facilities for the disabled, changing rooms and showers are located on the left hand side of the building, which can also be accessed through a separate outside door for those coming off the football field with muddy boots. Additional storage facilities and a consulting room are also now available.
A covered decking area allows direct access to the field at the rear of the hall, accessed through patio doors from the main hall allowing users to enjoy views across the village.
Heating and hot water for the new hall are provided by air source heat pumps. The main hall will use warm air, coupled with a fresh air ventilation system designed for occupancy of 120 people with heat recovery from the exhausted air. The changing rooms have under floor heating and also have heat recovery ventilation. As far as heating is concerned the systems will have a minimum efficiency of 350%, considerably more in the summer for hot water generation and 560 litres hot water storage will be provided for the showers.
The use of heat pumps means that cooling will be available in the summer for all areas except the changing rooms. Similarly, efficient lighting systems will be installed.
This may seem a little elaborate for a village hall, but current building regulations demand much higher standards in both the construction of the building and what goes into it, to drive up energy efficiency and reduce the carbon foot-print. The new hall exceeds all current legislation and encompasses those that are coming into force in a few years time.
Opening of the New Village Hall
After 10 long years of planning, negotiating, worrying etc., finally on Saturday 4th August 2010 Moulton villagers came out in force to celebrate the grand opening of Moulton’s New Village Hall.
After children’s games had been played on the playing field, a dancing dog exhibition had entertained the crowd, BBQ hamburgers and hot dogs, tea, cakes and beer had been consumed, Bill Rampling, Chairman of the Parish Council, called the assembled throng to order.
After his welcoming speech Bill gave a vote of thanks to Ed Chambers who, as Chair of the Village Hall Management Committee, had project managed the new build and the village acknowledged his tremendous achievement and that of the committee with a hearty round of applause.
Bill then went on to introduce the most elderly member of the community, Mr Jack Green, who at a sprightly 96 years of age, gave a short speech and was then invited to cut the ribbon, officially opening the Village Hall.
A magnificent cake had been specially made by W.I. member Dorothy Bowles and Jack, along with Ed, Bill and other committee members posed for an official cake cutting photo to further celebrate the occasion. The cake was then cut and served to everyone – it was delicious!
All agreed that it had been a very special day befitting of such an auspicious occasion in the history of Moulton village.
The Hall is now up and running with regular activities and special events taking place daily!
A really great venue for all to use!

Village Hall, Bridge Street, Moulton, CB8 8SP
The old Village Hall was erected in 1955 and served the community for more than 50 years. Located in the centre of the village it was 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 hired the Hall for occasional or regular functions, activities and training classes.
The new hall is adjacent to the village green with which it shares a car park that is suitable for about 20 cars (inc. 2 disabled bays) 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 new Village Hall has level access and there are no steps into the main hall.
The new main hall is approximately 8 metres X 14 metres, has a sealed wooden floor, ideal for indoor sports like badminton and is well lit with both natural and artificial lights on the higher ceilings.
Chairs and tables are kept in their own separate storage area so they do not impact on the floor size except when in use.
As you enter to main hall, to the left you will find the committee room which measures approximately 3 m x 5m. The kitchen is fully fitted with 3 sinks, an oven, bottle washer, refrigerator and kettles. Crockery and cutlery is available but exact needs should be checked before hiring. There are separate Ladies and Gentlemen’s toilets, one disabled toilet and changing rooms for the home and away teams.
