St Mark’s Church Hall, Anlaby Common
St Mark’s Church Hall was built in 1968. The hall’s timber-framed dome shape makes it a distinctive local landmark. We primarily serve 8,600 residents in Anlaby Common, Anlaby Park and Rokeby Park, West Hull/East Yorkshire - a mixed community including areas suffering localised deprivation and people affected by social isolation. Whilst we are still impacted by the effects of the pandemic our hall is busy. We are home to a mix of groups serving a variety of age groups and needs - groups for babies/toddlers and their carers, children, youth and adults; fitness, dance and hobby groups; maths/English tuition and an NHS clinic. The hall provides our church’s kitchen, space for community outreach and to help local families, e.g. as a low cost venue for children's parties. It is also used by volunteers running a community garden on-site, and for community events such as fun days, fayres, holiday clubs and the local Christmas lights switch-on. We are currently undergoing a phased refurbishment programme and hope to continue supporting our community for many more years to come!
