Wilbrahams’ Memorial Hall
The original Wilbrahams' Memorial Hall was opened in 1921 on land owned by Squire R S Hicks, in memory of the men he had fought alongside in WW1. In 1949 the adjacent land was gifted to the Trustees of the Memorial Hall by the squire for the purposes of a sports and recreation ground. Our modern hall, built in 2016, serves the villages of Great and Little Wilbraham, and is situated in the heart of Great Wilbraham, overlooking our spacious recreation ground, cricket and football pitch, and opposite St Nicholas Church. It is surrounded by picturesque cottages and farmhouses.
Our facilities include a large, well-lit hall, comfortably seating 100 -130, a presentation-equipped meeting room seating 30, a large servery kitchen and toilets. The facilities are fully accessible and are equipped with hearing loops. The complex also houses the village Bar & Social Club and changing facilities for the Sports Club. There is parking for 22 cars and ample parking locally. The village hall is normally used on a regular basis by village groups, including Great Wilbraham Parish Council and the Parochial Church Council (PCC), Wilbrahams’ Community Choir, a youth group, a baby & toddler group, and an over 60s club, whist drives, yoga classes, a film society, bridge, scrabble, and gardening clubs, quilting classes and community events. It is also a popular venue for parties and weddings, and other meetings. The village hall complex and recreation ground are managed by a committee of Trustees for the benefit of the local community.
