About this venue
A community hall on Thornham Lane in Middleton, available to hire by arrangement with June Greenwood, the Diary Coordinator. The operator lists the hall for parties, weddings, amateur dramatics and music, exercise classes, social and club meetings, children’s groups and other community activities. Customer parking is at the rear, and an on-site Coffee Cupboard café has separate public opening hours. The hall’s website says work to tidy and improve the hall and surrounding grounds is still underway; confirm current condition, facilities, room details and availability when booking. The hall does not publish hire rates, so contact June for a quote.
