Wenhaston Village Hall stands in the centre of Wenhaston, opposite St.Peter's Church. The village is just two miles from the A12, three miles from Halesworth and seven miles from Southwold.

This spacious Hall is licensed for 200 persons seated, 240 for dancing or for 160 seated at tables. Hearing Loop system installed. The interior is light and airy, with a high ceiling, and is further enhanced by the attractive solid wood floor. Framed certificates, awards and items of interest hang on the walls.

In 2009 the Hall underwent extensive improvements intended to reduce the Hall's carbon footprint, part of which was the installation of a biomass boiler and heating system and 72 photo voltaic panels on the roof.

Dances, family parties, formal dinners, concerts, exhibitions and a variety of other uses can easily be accommodated here. Naturally, the Hall is the meeting place for many village groups and organisations, including Badminton Club, Gardeners Club, Table Tennis Club and Womens Institute.

With its raised wide stage, equipped with stage curtains, the Hall is also a suitable venue for plays and productions. The backstage area gives space for performers who are waiting in the wings. One side of the stage leads by a doorway to a separate room, which in turn links to the central corridor off which are the toilets. The other side of the stage has an open area leading to a useful screened-off passage running behind the back of the stage.
Equally there is space to stage theatre in the main hall 'in the round'.

To the side of the main hall, accessed by two open archways, is the bar area with purpose-built bar counter and including a sink and chiller cabinet. On the same side a door opens from the hall into the large kitchen. The kitchen and bar area are linked by a serving hatchway. There is another separate hatchway between the kitchen and the hall. Both these hatchways can be closed off when not required.

The main entrance to the Hall is by double doors from the roomy entrance foyer. From the foyer is the central corridor off which are the toilets. Also off the foyer is the Mauric Stammers Community Room, with its own chairs. This room can be hired separately.

Of course there are plenty of chairs and tables available.

Clever use of storage space elsewhere in the building means that items belonging to the variety of village groups who use the hall are tidied out of sight and thus all areas are clutter free.

Outside there is a car park and exterior lighting.

The Hall's place in the community is evident by this location being chosen for the planting of a Jubilee tree in 2002. This golden birch stands near to the charming oak tree in the car park. Here too the Wenhaston village sign is sited.

There is also a working sundial placed on the Hall by Wenhaston Community Council to mark both the millennium year 2000 and the silver anniversary of the building of this Hall. (Built 1975).

Wenhaston Village Hall is a Registered Charity (Number 1001694) and is managed by a dedicated team who continually strive to maintain and improve it to a high standard.
