Hire the Village Hall or Pavilion

Little Berkhamsted Village Hall is a characterful building in the centre of the village opposite the recreation field.

It is suitable for a wide range of events. Private parties, public meetings, charitable and fundraising events, child-based activities, keep-fit and dance classes, lectures, quiz nights, bridge competitions, weddings and christenings have all hired the hall.

The hall was given to the village by the family of Brodie Henderson, a village resident, in 1938. It is owned and managed by the Parish Council. In 2023 it underwent refurbishment works with insulation, secondary double glazing and LED lighting installed and internal redecoration.

The hall measures 10m by 6m and can accommodate up to 70 people standing and 60 seated. Included in the hire price is use of the fully equipped kitchen, including cooker, fridge, freezer, microwave, kettle and water urns and there are collapsible trestle tables and stacking chairs.

The hall has Broadband access, a rolldown screen and overhead projector.

There are two toilets one of which is accessible for wheelchair users.

Free parking is available opposite the hall on the village recreation ground.
