Welcome to Westcott Village Hall
Our Village Hall is available for booking events, clubs and parties. With a 100-person capacity, the main hall offers a multi-function space for a variety of activities, and is supported by a fully equipped kitchen.
The hall is widely used for local club meetings, classes, sports, exercise and social events. It is the focus of annual village events such as our WestFestivity Christmas fair. it is a popular venue for children’s parties, where we can even accommodate an indoor bouncy castle.
Westcott Village Hall will be available for bookings until August 2027. There will be a period of closure after that, during which we will replace the existing hall with a brand-new facility with our Westcott Village Hall Project.
