OverviewWelcome to Medbourne Village Hall located in the heart of the beautiful Welland Valley. Medbourne School, built in 1868, became our Village Hall in the 1980s (see Village Hall Evolution) and is now an important asset for all the community. As well as the Pre-School 3 days a week, there is a weekly Surgery and other regular meetings including the Parish Council and the WI. The 1st Welland Valley Scouts meet on Thursday evenings and there is Pilates on Friday mornings. The hall is also available for private hire. If you have an idea for a new group or want to be involved, we would love to hear from you. This website will help you to find out more about hiring the hall, the types of events that take place and information about the groups that use the hall. There is good access for the disabled, and we now have high speed broadband throughout the building. We intend to further improve and extend the hall in the near future.

In addition to male and female toilets there are facilities for those with disabilities and all rooms are on one level. There are several electric power points in both rooms. Community HubMedbourne Village Hall is one of the many Gigaclear Community Hubs providing free broadband to rural communities. The Medbourne Village Community Hub is powered by Gigaclear 900Mbps full fibre broadband. Thanks to Gigaclear, the broadband network is free to individuals, groups and organisations who wish to hire the village hall For more information see the Gigaclear web site. ExteriorMedbourne Village Hall boasts the original school playground and a grassed recreational area making it a popular choice for those looking to hire a venue in the Welland Valley. Event organisers during the year use the space for fetes, plant sales and of course parties! During the summer there is often a marquee hosting a wedding or special event. The hall now benefits from a ramp which was installed in the Spring of 2014, improving access for parents with buggies and wheelchair users. There is parking on the road outside the hall for around ten vehicles and the hard area can be used for parking for people with disabilities if the ground is firm. |
