Village Hall & Bookings

Datchworth Village Hall is a key community building, a focal point of village life that brings a range of services for local people under one roof. The hall is located in rural surroundings on the edge of Datchworth Green with views over open countryside. It benefits from a bar, kitchen and a large car park.

It is popular for family celebrations and plays host 7 days a week to a wide range of clubs and classes, as well as frequent village social events.

There are three rooms available to hire for private or business use, which can be booked separately or together. The main function room, with an elevated stage, can accommodate up to 250 people (120 seated for meals).

Regular weekly or monthly activities include:

  • Fitness classes
  • ICT skills
  • Dog training
  • Guides
  • Lacemaking
  • Roller-skating
  • Table tennis
  • Karate
  • Tiddlywinks, a parent/carer and toddler group
  • Women’s Institute
  • Indoor bowls

Datchworth Pre-School forms part of the Village Hall and a Post Office runs from the premises twice a week.

Our charitable objective is very much focused on recreation and leisure time occupation to improve the life of our local residents.
