Village halls in Staffordshire
Anslow Village Hall
Staffordshire
Anslow Village hall was built on land donated by Walter Thompstone of Anslow Park farm following a public meeting at Anslow Mission Hall on 21st March 1949. Fund raising events and donations from hundreds of individuals helped secure finance as well as interest free loans, and in 1951 a grant was provided by the Ministry of Education under the Physical Training and Recreation Act 1937. The hall was officially opened on 23rd August 1952. The first event was a whist drive which continued until 2014. The hall is regularly used by local groups including WI, the local gardening society and the Parish Council and classes inclcuding, bridge, yoga, pilates, a choir, painting and karate. It is a popular venue for weekend children’s and adult occasions, fund raising events for the local parish church and a venue for elections.
Biddulph Moor Village Hall
Staffordshire
Biddulph Moor Village Hall was constructed around 1975, following a fund raising campaign by the local community, to provide a facility for the community and surrounding areas. Over the years it has proved to be a focal point for the community providing a venue for activities, clubs, celebrations and community events and remains so.
The Village Hall is used for many different activities which cater for diverse age groups including a Playgroup, Radio Controlled Car Club, Bowls Club, Dog Club, Yoga and the Evergreens group for the more elderly local residents. It is also available for hire for private events such as weddings and special occasion celebrations such as birthday parties, anniversaries etc. Drapes can be hung to transform the hall into a very attractive and affordable venue.
The Committee run a number of different events for the community as a whole including an annual fireworks display, musical events, discos, touring theatrical performances and themed dining evenings.
The Committee work together with other organisations to operate community events such as the village Well Dressing and the Biddulph Festival.
The Village Hall is a focal point for the community. It provides a vital, convenient, accessible and affordable venue for many activities and it is conveniently located within the village. This is really important to the local residents who would otherwise be deprived of these activities as Biddulph Moor is poorly connected to the surrounding area which makes it difficult to travel to alternative venues.
During this current period of enforced closure due to the Covid-19 situation the Committee have been focussing on carrying out maintenance and improvement work and seeking grants for the refurbishment of the hall. The aim is to continue to improve the hall so that it is an even more attractive facility for the local community.
Blythe Bridge & Forsbrook village hall
Staffordshire
The Blythe Bridge & Forsbrook village hall has undergone an internal facelift to bring it up to date & now hosts a range of community activities & events
Chebsey Parish Hall
Staffordshire
Chebsey Parish Hall was originally constructed in the late Victorian era as a school for the local children in the Chebsey area and remained so until its closure in the early 1960, after which it was taken over by the community as a village hall.
In 2012, the organisation was registered as a charity. Following a fund raising campaign, and with the help of local authority and other grants, a large refurbishment and modernisation project was subsequently undertaken in 2015 and the hall now provides all the facilities required to make it an ongoing viable hub for Chebsey village and its surrounds.
Over the years it has proved to be a focal point for the community providing a venue for activities, clubs, celebrations and community events and remains so.
The Village Hall is used for many different activities which cater for diverse age groups including Yoga, Keep Fit, Live and Local presentations and a very popular whist drive group for the more elderly local residents. With its very large integral car park it is also very popular for hire for private events such as weddings and special occasion celebrations such as birthday parties, anniversaries etc.

Cheddleton Community Centre

CODSALL VILLAGE HALL & PLAYING FIELDS CHARITY LTD
Staffordshire
Codsall Village Hall was conceived after World War 1, and in 1928 the first parcel of land was purchased.
The financial crash, another war and the shortage of materials thereafter meant that the building did not open until 1963, and fund-raising events to complete the payments went on for some years afterwards.
Several extensions have been added, not always sympathetically, and there are now the Pavilion and Lounge as well as a large Hall.
Twenty-two groups use the building, catering for babies of six months old and every other demographic including our nonagenarians.
Codsall Cricket Club and Codsall Dramatic Society are the main users, but Art and Craft, dancing, Yoga, the RSPB and History Society fill the Hall with their members.
Food Fairs, Pringo (Bingo with Prosecco), tribute bands, a Beer Festival and Christmas events bring in funds.
The building is hired for weddings, parties and meetings.
In 2021, taking advantage of the closure, we have redecorated, and we have the funding to replace our heating system.
Codsall is now a large village, but the Hall remains at the heart of it.
Derrington Village Hall
Staffordshire
Our Hall is the hub of the village, prior to the lockdown we supported our community with many events from Brownies to a coffee shop for the retired and those on their own, with many user groups offering a diverse range of activities. Loads of social events proved extremely popular. During the lockdowns we set up a community shop as we don’t have one in the village anymore. We supported the ‘Helping Derrington’ group who provided assistance to the vulnerable and those who were shielding. We have so many plans for the future as soon as we are able to get back in the swing!
Fradswell Village Hall
Staffordshire
We are a vibrant community hub
at the heart of our tiny village of Fradswell (approx 170 residents).
We provide local opportunities
to meet, socialise,
learn, share
and shop.
Our village has no amenities other than our hall. We run regular coffee mornings, a monthly lunch club, a monthly community shop, cafe and repair shop, as well as a regular Pop-Up Bar night and various events.
We now have a number of what have become annual local ‘traditions’ which our community looks forward to every year.
Our annual Apple festival, ‘Frapfest’, at which we chop and press local apples, supplied by our community, using the extracted juice to make Fradswell cider, with the apple pulp going to local compost heaps and local pig food!
Our annual ‘Wassail’ event. A spectacular family evening of flaming torches, singing, banging of instruments and saucepans, all to Wassail and ‘wake up’ our community apple trees and encourage a good crop of apples later in the year for our cider!
Our free summer barbeque is always a popular evening, celebrating Fradswell community and our lovely village hall.
Throughout the 2020/21 pandemic, we have had a team of volunteers ready to help anyone needing shopping, prescriptions etc, or even just a chat. Our free weekly exercise class has continued to run online, via Zoom, keeping community together and healthy! We’ve also distributed Boredom Buster bags to many in our community struggling with isolation.
Our hope for the future is to keep our wonderful community engaged, welcoming, caring, sustainable and forward-looking -and as special a place to be, as it is now.

Hixon Memorial Hall
Staffordshire
***The Memorial that lasts***
The Memorial Hall before the co-vid pandemic hit us, was busier then ever, with the village constantly growing, it still fulfils its original purpose, of providing a central meeting place for organisations and groups of all ages to come together and grow as a community. Instigated by Wilmot Martin , the local farmer whose touring concert parties raised the money to build the hall. He must have been a very proud man on 17th December 1926, when the hall was officially opened, and was to become a living memorial to those who served and lost their lives in the First World War.
Over the years fashions and trends change, so has the type of events held in the Hall. From being sustained in the early years by rummage sales and weekly Whist Drives, now the list of events includes, film nights,wine tasting, live music and more recently a very successful Comedy Night. As well as being used every day of the week, for various groups such as fitness class’s, Fortnightly luncheon club, Community cafe, History Society and Parish Council Meetings, and not forgetting Jelly Beans for the under school age. So the Memorial Hall goes from strength to strength, run and maintained by a volunteer Management Committee, and long may it continue.
Keele Village Hall
Staffordshire
A small vintage building in the heart of our community. Simple facilities but a homely venue for parties for all ages and a place for community and social groups to meet. Owned by the parish council and managed by volunteers.
Maer Village Hall
Staffordshire
Maer Village Hall is nearly 100 years old and is the only community building in our very small, but hugely historic village. It has been a school, army hospital and working mens club in its time. It has had several refurbishment programmes including rennovation after a flood courtesy of the beast from the east a few years ago. This a new porch entrance and equipment paid by the Covid grant allowed to become Covid secure and open as often as we were allowed. During this last year it has never seemed more important in bringing the community together and despite restrictions the hall became a great focus for all the activities and events. We look forward to the time when we can open the doors fully and enjoy community activities again. ACRE and the work of the support officers has been invaluable for providing support and advice and helping us to keep in touch with all the other fabulous village halls of Stafforshire.
Mavesyn Ridware Village Hall
Staffordshire
Mavesyn Ridware Village Hall is the hub of the community. It came into being in 1986 thanks to a generous donation by Miss Mary Lucy Derry, a local lady who bequeathed the land in memory of her late parents, with the proviso that a Village Hall would be built ‘for the use of the inhabitants of the Parish of Mavesyn Ridware in the County of Stafford...without distinction of political religious or other opinions including use for meetings lectures and classes and for other forms of recreation and leisure time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants.’
This ethos has allowed the Hall to develop, offering a variety of classes, from Tai Chi to Flower Arranging, from Dog Scent to Art. A drop in coffee morning operates two mornings a week plus annual events including Halloween, children’s Christmas party, and the ever-popular Tinsels and Trimmings run by the local WI. In its history it has hosted the village fete, pigeon shows, barn dances, local bands, weddings receptions - and many themed evenings. It also provides a useful Post Office facility and operates as a polling station when needed.

killed in the Second World War and is a stone built construction erected by local people in
1954. Since then it has been the hub for community fund raising events, family
celebrations, the annual Rose Queen event, Teapot parade, National celebrations (ie:
Jubilees, Commonwealth Day flag raising), a weekly Post Office service, Parish Council
Meeting,keep fit classes, History Live exhibitions etc
Tutbury Village Hall
Staffordshire
The building was officially opened on 25th July 1987 as a Community Centre and became the Village Hall in 2000.
Our Background
To precis the history of the building, when houses in Castle Street owned by the Parish Charity were demolished in the early 1970s, it was hoped that the money would be available for a community building, but the Charities were not allowed to do this. For the time being, the Old Cock Inn in Lower High Street was bought by the trustees as an interim measure and this was well used for a Luncheon Club etc. and general meeting place.
Weston Village Hall
Staffordshire
The photograph dated 1953 was the Opening Ceremony of Weston's first Village Hall. It shows Bridget Malpass presenting a bouquet to Miss Mary Bagshawe of Uttoxeter, who opened the Hall.
