Weare Giffard Village Hall

Weare Giffard Village Hall

Our village hall is probably one of the best equipped in Devon. There are some newer purpose-built community halls but ours offers lots of space, a large kitchen, a variety of rooms for different purposes and has the atmosphere and surroundings that come from its heritage as a school building in a simply beautiful setting.

There is very large hall, a separate long room (used by the skittles club usually), a large kitchen capable of catering for up to 100 people, a small meeting room, toilets and car parking.

Wheelchair access is also available.

The hall is available for hire for private and public functions. See the contact details below.
