About this venue
Piddletrenthide Memorial Hall offers hire for meetings, parties, wedding receptions, funeral wakes and club dinners. Its raised stage, simple theatre lighting, ceiling-mounted projector, sound system and rear garden support community, social and performance events. Hall hire includes a comprehensive kitchen with range cooker, large dishwasher and generous worktop space; the kitchen can also be hired for food preparation elsewhere. The published entertainment licence gives up to 150 dancing or closely seated, or 75 seated at tables. No alcohol licence is held, so the hirer is responsible for obtaining any required licence. There is no visitor car park; roadside parking is possible only where it does not block entrances, and one outside space is for loading/unloading.
