Hampsthwaite Memorial Hall What Next?PLEASE HELP - YOUR SUGGESTIONS AND SUPPORT ARE NEEDED URGENTLY! We are seeking ideas for how we might extend the facilities at the Memorial Hall. We are clear there is a need for better storage of some items and an enhancement of back-stage facilities to support our excellent Drama Productions.

There is a well-equipped kitchen and catering area with dishwasher, water-heater, micro-wave, Rangemaster Pro induction cooker and ample supplies of crockery, glassware and cutlery. Adjacent to the Kitchen is a Servery with hatchways through to both the Main Hall and Dining Room (or small hall) which can be used as a bar. The Memorial Hall is licenced to sell alcohol. The Main Hall includes a well-equipped stage area and Green Room at one end, with P.A. system, both rear and front projection facilities for DVD, Blu-ray or data, ample stage-lighting, star-cloth, a mirror ball, and can be rigged with a ceiling canopy if needed.

Extracts from Conveyance No.8791 dated 24th April 1953 Energy Efficiency Refurbishment ProjectHampsthwaite Memorial Hall is the main community centre for the village and commemorates the lives and sacrifice of those villagers who fell in the two World Wars. As the current building approached its 50th Anniversary, the Hall Management Committee aimed to broaden the range of activities it can support and bring it up to modern energy saving standards. This would help sustain its future for another 50 years by increasing usage, controlling running costs, and result in several improvements to the fabric of the building. .
