Matfen Village Hall

Matfen Village Hall is a charity established for the use of the people of the parish of Matfen. The Hall is delightfully situated in the centre of the village and has recently been restored and offers excellent facilities for nearly every occasion, including an excellent kitchen, music and sound system, and an alcohol license for the event if needed.

Our aim is to create memorable events and activities for all members of the parish both inside the Hall and on the village green.  Currently the Hall is mainly used by the parishioners for events and clubs. It is possible however, for outside organisations or individuals to hire the Hall when it is not being used by the parish. Our very competitive charges are negotiable and depend on circumstances, such as if you are a Matfen parishioner or a charity based organisation.

We have had the pleasure of hiring out the Hall for birthday parties, musical evenings, pre-wedding receptions, and business meetings. Please come and view the Hall and our village, you will be most welcome.
