Stutton Community Hall

The Community Hall has two spaces for hire : the Main Hall and the smaller Garden Room.

The Main Hall is a light, airy space with excellent facilities for a wide range of activities. You have access to the kitchen, stage sound and projection equipment. Many village events take place in the Hall - from weekly Seated Exercise classes to monthly Film Nights, and full theatre shows from Stutton Presents.

The Hall is also available for hire for parties, wedding receptions, dance classes and sales events.

The hall has level access to all areas of the hall except the stage. There is a fully accessible toilet for wheelchair users and there are two designated disabled parking spaces adjacent to the hall entrance. There is a loop hearing system in place.

The Garden Room will be available from 1 May 2024. It has its own access, kitchette and disabled toilet. The room has bi-fold doors onto patio and views beyond to the Community Shop and its garden. It can accommodate up to 32 people seated, around 4 round tables.

There are loading doors for scenery and equipment at the back of the stage. The doors are about 4ft above ground level.

The Garden Room is approximately 7 metres square. We have seating for 32 on attractive upholstered beech wood chairs and 4 round tables.
