About us
Goosnargh & Whittingham Village Hall
We are an amazing, well-developed facility at the heart of the Goosnargh and Whittingham village community and beyond. We are proud that with a fully equipped kitchen, incorporating two serving hatches, the Village Hall is well adapted to cater for hot and cold food provision and cutlery and crockery is provided. Seated banquet provision is available for approximately 150 covers. We also have a separate modern servery for hot and cold drinks and pre-prepared food.
Seating for lectures or theatre productions can be arranged and fire regulations allow for a maximum capacity of 250 people.
We are fully licensed for live and recorded music the hall has a large raised stage area with side wings, free WiFi, excellent PA system and superb wooden dance floor – ideal for dance classes, amateur dramatic productions and choral groups.
Male and female ground floor toilet facilities are accessed from a private corridor so not intruding on any events being held in the hall. Additionally, toilet facilities for those less-able are available with easy access
The hall is run and maintained by volunteer trustees to provide a low-cost community venue for leisure pursuits, meetings, lectures, exhibitions, jumble sales, weddings, coffee mornings, children’s parties, shows, concerts etc. and is fully accessible for those less able, except for the raised stage which is accessed via a short flight of stairs.
We can also offer a small meeting room which can seat 15 to 20 people independently of the main hall. This is upstairs so perhaps is not suitable for those with limited mobility.
