THE HALL HAS EXCELLENT FACILITIES

THE PRICES FOR HIRE ARE VERY REASONABLE

 

Warkworth Memorial Hall

WARKWORTH MEMORIAL HALL REFURBISHMENT

The hall now has a new floor. Grant aid from three Charitable Trusts amounting to £3,250 has allowed the Hall committee to renew the main hall floor. The floor is a combination of light coloured wood parquet in the central area, with carpet surround. Added to this, a redecoration project recently has seen an improvement to the general appearance of the room and coupled with the new floor, there is a massive improvement to the room, about which the village can be proud.

Parties and receptions have been held in the Hall on a regular basis. With the vastly improved décor the building can be regarded as a very attractive venue for hire.

An alcohol licence has recently been secured for Friday and Saturday nights and so an event organiser is free from the hassle of having to apply themselves for a permit.

 

The price of hire of the hall is

£8 per hour

 

 Warkworth Memorial Hall

The Parish Council now hold their monthly meeting in the Hall and on Friday evenings the Youth Club will return during the winter months and the ladies Carpet Bowls on a Wednesday afternoon.

VILLAGE HALL BAGS LOTTERY AND EVERYONE WINS !
Lottery Funded

Warkworth War Memorial Hall in partnership with the Warkworth Drama Group have been awarded a Big Lottery Fund grant of £2771 toward the cost of a new sound system for the hall. The system contains four speakers and fixed and radio microphones with high quality amplifier and mixer equipment. The system also includes a Loop Induction element which will mean a vastly improved experience for the hearing impaired.

The installation was designed and installed by F & M McLoughlin, Sound Engineers, of Gosforth. The Drama Group will act as custodians of the system but it will be available to all Hall Users Groups.

There was a teach-in by Frank McLoughlin for all those representatives of User Groups interested in using the new sound system on Thursday 25 March at 7.15pm.

For those only interested in using the Loop Induction system, Ralph Firth of the Warkworth Drama Group will explain this to interested parties from 10 a.m. onward on Saturday 10 April at the Memorial Hall Coffee Morning.
