Welcome to Hermitage Village Hall

Background
The current Village Hall was originally The Church School erected in 1841 for 120 children. It closed in 1913 when the County Council took over education of children and built a new school at the north end of the village. The old school building was managed for many years by the church as a village hall, until a number of energetic local residents purchased the original buildings in 1960 and opened the new hall in 1962. The buildings were modified and extended over the years to make the hall as we know it today. In 1996 the Old School Cottage and associated garden was acquired for the community albeit with severe planning restrictions.

The Village Hall is owned and managed by Trustees and is used by various social, community and educational groups, including Pre-School, Horticultural Society, dancing classes, dog training classes, Youth Club and others. Unfortunately we were unable to accommodate Toddler Group owing to the need to run concurrently with Pre-School. The Hall is available from 8:00am to 10:30pm and runs at over 75% utilisation. The hall is the only community facility in Hermitage other than the school and the scout hut.

We hope these pages will help you find all the information you need about the village hall, but if there is information you can't find, please email us and we will try to add the parts you need.
