The Hall
The main hall has a large room with a stage, suitable for badminton, drama and dance classes as well
as meetings and parties. An ample stock of chairs and tables is available.
There is a newly fitted kitchen and serving area as well as toilets and washing facilities.
There is also a small hall with access to the kitchen via the main hall, and two further meeting rooms - the conference room and the committee room.
These cater for 10-20 persons with tea/coffee-making facilities and are
suitable for small classes or meetings.
All facilities are subject to regular health and safety checks.
There is good access to the hall for the disabled, which is facilitated by the availability of
parking next to the hall entrance. The toilets have disabled facilities and
it is intended to install a loop hearing system when funds are available.

the famous artist, illustrator and caricaturist. Sime owned a cottage at Worplesdon and spent much of his time here during
the latter part of his life. For more about Sime,
