In the United Kingdom, a village hall is usually a building which contains usually at least one large room, kitchen and toilets, and is usually owned by a local government council or independent trustees, and run for the benefit of the local community. It is estimated that there are over 10,000 such village halls.[1]


Such a hall is typically used for a variety of public and private functions, such as:




  • Parish council meetings


  • Polling station for local and national elections

  • Sports club functions

  • Local drama productions

  • Dances

  • Jumble sales

  • Private parties such as birthdays or wedding receptions


Village halls are generally run by a committee, and if this is not part of a local government body, such as a parish council, then they can apply for charitable status.[2] They may have other names such as a Village Institute or Memorial Hall. In some localities a church hall or community centre provides similar functions.



Wales


The word neuadd (IPA: /'neiæð/) is used to refer to village halls in Welsh-speaking parts of Wales, as in Neuadd Dyfi, the village hall in Aberdyfi.[3]
