About this venue
Gayle Village Institute is a Grade II listed former chapel at East End, Gayle, near Hawes, dating to about 1755. The 2017 Upper Wensleydale Newsletter said local clubs, societies and the parish council used it regularly and that it was available for parties and private functions. A current venue directory still lists private-function hire, and the parish council's January 2026 accounts record hall hire at the Institute. Likely availability is supported, but confirm current dates, eligibility and charges with the trustees.
