Village Hall

The Village Hall building dates back to 1869, it was originally two cottages, before coming the village school and finally the Village Hall owned by Drayton Parish Council in 1976.

It is part of our village heritage and offers a central meeting place for social interaction to the local and wider community. The VH, which was fully refurbished 2011 – 2013 where it received a new roof, a fully equipped kitchen and two toilets including one which is suitable for disabled users. There is also wheelchair access at the front of the building and a car park at the rear of the building for 6 to 8 cars as well as on road parking. The VH also has free WiFi.

village hall events & HIRE

The main hall is of medium size and measures 10m x 5m, making ideal for children’s birthday parties. We offer tables that will seat up to 35 people comfortably and 50 chairs, perfect for talks and lectures. The hall has a very popular indoor Skittle Alley which is available for hire.

As well as hiring out the Village Hall, the management committee organises fundraising events such as skittles, Bunko and race nights. On the first Wednesday of each month, St Peter’s Church holds a popular coffee morning, and on the third Wednesday of the month at 2.30pm, the Wednesday Club (formerly the WI) hosts a range of guest speakers and talks. All are welcome. The Village Hall is also home to Drayton Parish Council, which meets on the second Thursday of every other month. For more information about events, please see our village events calendar.
