Located to the East of the Village green, the hall was re-designed in 2008 by a local architect to accommodate a variety of activities and functions. There is parking along the green and on the streets. In the 1990s, a children’s play park was constructed with slides, climbing frames and swings. A specialised safety surface has been installed to protect the children.
