About the Village Hall

The Hall was built and opened in 1977, and is located to the south side of the village recreation park. The large hall with wooden floor, large windows offering good lighting is served by a good kitchen area for food and refreshment preparation including a large cooker and fridge facility. The Hall can accommodate meetings up to 100 people or 70- 80 seated at tables (tables and chairs are available). Please enquire for further details.

External areas to the Village Hall include:

Outside the Hall is a large grassed area (property of the Longford Parish Council) which can accommodate for large village events.
Longford Football Club and their Youth Club regularly play matches here.
Alongside the green space is a small toddler play play area, a separate basketball area and benches around the park.
There is a hardstanding parking area for a limited number of cars.

The Village Hall is also the local Polling Station and is the local Place of Safety in the event of local emergencies, such as the floods of 2007.

The old Village Hall was also used as a Coroner's Court in 1949 to investigate a drowning in the River Severn in 1949.

About The Committee

We currently have a Committee of Trustees and Volunteers that give many hours of selfless service to the local community to run the Village Hall. We are always looking for new volunteers to bring in new ideas and generate energy to the committee, to the hall and the wider community.

If you have some time and want to give something back to your community you are welcome to come along to the Committee Meetings to find out more. We meet once a month on the 4th Tuesday of the month, at 19:00 in the hall.

Some of the jobs of the committee volunteers include:

* Opening and closing the hall for casual hirers
