Village halls in Nottinghamshire
Bestwood Village Hall (The Welfare)
Nottinghamshire
In 1890 as The Music Hall was built with money donated by the Lancaster family that run the Colliery and Iron Works. The building had its first extension in 1939 which created a bar area on the side of the building. The Hall was eventually used as a village hall which was run by a committee . The village hall committee disbanded and they passed on the building to the Miners Welfare Institute & Recreation Ground Charity which is still serving the community to this day 91 years on from when they first started.
The old music hall doesn’t have many walls left and has been engulfed by the Welfare complex which is a community hub and public house. The Welfare charity is keen to be a bigger focal point of an expanding village. The charity aims to provide Youth Services; Basic Health Services & training courses; Educational Services: Baby, Child, Teen and Adults; Child Care/Friendly areas and space for local groups; Community Events for all; Fitness and Well Being.
Support is provided for: Mental Health; Elders of the community; intergenerational activities; local artists; we link all these sectors into our current grounds, sports fields, and buildings.
Bunny Village Hall
Nottinghamshire
This former school became a village hall in the 60s and is owned by the Bunny & Bradmore Charities Trust. There are two rooms, with a kitchen added about 70 years ago.
During these Covid times and not being able to use the hall, we have made it a time to freshen it up with a coat of paint and to hope that it will encourage many more bookings as we move into the relaxing of rules
Coddington Community Centre
Nottinghamshire
The centre was built in 2006 as an Eco Friendly facility by Newark and Sherwood District Council. The ownership was transferred to Coddington Parish Council in 2016. The centre is managed by “Coddington Community Association CIO”, a registered charity. The aim of the centre is to provide a place for local residents to get together for activities or celebrations. The term local residents is not confined just to Coddington, it includes people who live just over a mile away at the top of Beacon Hill. As an Eco Friendly public building there is a considerable amount of maintenance that takes place to keep everything in order and the certification up to date.
Coddington Village Hall
Nottinghamshire
Still here after COVID! We’ve managed to keep most of our users and we have continued with Rural Touring events which are generally well supported. The oldest corrugated iron part of our hall dates to around 1870; the newest - Coronation Hall - predictably to the early 1950s. The latter was comprehensively refurbished in 2014 and is now fully insulated and double glazed with LED lighting.

Elston Village Hall
Nottinghamshire
Elston has a strong connection to the Darwins – Erasmus Darwin once lived in Elston Hall – and has continued links with the family to this day. The land on which the village hall stands was given to the village by the Darwin family and in 1959 Elston Village Hall was built by the community at a cost of around £3000. Since then there have been a number of improvements made to the building culminating in a major refurbishment in 2011/12
For one-off hirers -as well as regular users - the hall offers excellent facilities including a large, brightly lit hall, a well-equipped kitchen with a commercial dishwasher/sanitizer, air conditioning, free WIFI, a bar, tables (including 5 that are circular) and chairs to seat 100, wheelchair access to all areas and a toilet for disabled people, a small terrace overlooking the recreation ground and children’s play area and a car park. It is an ideal venue for meetings, business away days, birthday parties for young and old, wakes, wedding receptions and christenings.
Prior to the Corvid pandemic the hall was in regular use for coffee mornings, exercise classes, art classes, dance lessons and meetings by various clubs and organisations. It was also a popular venue for children’s and adults’ parties and weddings etc. And, while the only local pub was closed, it hosted a successful temporary bar – called The Hub - two nights a week for three years. The hope is that, once lockdown ends, most of the users will resume their activities and new hirers will be encouraged to make use of this valuable local resource.

The school opened in 1899 and closed in 1959. When the Grove Estate was sold in 1946 village residents clubbed together to raise the asking price of £500. The Hall was extended and refurbished in 2000 and was officially opened by HRH the Princess Royal in 2002.
The judges’ comments when we won RCAN’s Best Run Village Hall in Nottinghamshire Competition in 2009 are still valid:
· A first class Village Hall for a place of this size
· The bar and cinema are brilliant community features with a number of strong community events
· The centre of village life
The Committee has continued to build on this success by further developing community activities, making this hall a vibrant centre of the community.

South Muskham and Little Carlton Village Hall
Nottinghamshire
The hall and grounds were donated in a Trust Deed in 1957. With the help of several Grant Providers a series of improvements have been made since 2015, when we had a large extension built with new toilets, kitchen, full disabled access and ramped entrance. I have included a picture of a local resident with the new stone for the extension as she also witnessed the setting of the 1957 stone Since then we have built another small kitchen, bought 100 banqueting chairs, changed all the lighting to LED, had cavity wall insulation, installed acoustic panels, sound equipment, hearing loop and OHP projectors. The most recent improvements in 2020 were to build a second garage for storage and install solar panels. During lockdown we had the parquet floor resurfaced and the hall completely redecorated. As with many village halls, it has been very quiet but all our Hirers are planning to return. Everything happens at our Village Hall. We have baby and ante natal classes, taekwondo, yoga, zumba, childrens and adult dance classes, art groups, mindfulness, coffee mornings and of course family celebrations. A big wedding with a marquee for 200 people is planned for July, subject to restrictions being lifted. One thing we have planned for September, in conjunction with the local Church is to host a Remembrance and Celebration Service for those who have been bereaved during lockdown, followed by a free buffet at the Village Hall. There are a lot of hurting people in the community who did not get the chance to have a normal funeral service. That is part of our role as a Committee.

Thrumpton Village Hall
Nottinghamshire
Thrumpton Village Hall was originally opened in March 1962.
In the years since then the villagers (now 75 households) have not only kept this their only community facility, other than the church next door, in good repair, but have also made some significant improvements and extensions to it. These changes have been facilitated by a number of grants and local fundraising.
The Village Hall is a registered charity, with Trustees who serve for a 3 year term.
The Management Committee holds regular meetings during the year between AGMs and generally controls and supervises the activities of our Village Hall & Social Club.
Wellow Church Schoolroom
Nottinghamshire
Recently fully restored to its former glory by the trustees and a small dedicated team, this former Victorian school has served the pretty little rural village of Wellow and its inhabitants as a school, church/village hall, a reading room and so much more in its already 165 yr history. Since just before Covid the team, together with volunteers, have been researching Wellow’s heritage with the help of a Lottery Funded heritage grant- not an easy task with libraries and archives closed, but we’re managing, and it’ll be great to show off our findings once Covid subsides and we can all get back to enjoying time together inside our beautiful little Schoolroom.
