Kington Langley Village Hall

To book the village hall, please phone the Booking Clerk: 07864 981217.

The hall is licensed for plays, films, indoor sporting events, live music, recorded music and dance performances, from 8 am to 1 am Sundays to Fridays, and 8 am to midnight on Saturdays. This is not a licence for the sale of alcohol; as we do not have a Designated Licensee, a Temporary Events Notice has to be obtained for each event where alcohol is sold.

The hall committee manages the running and maintenance of the hall. To supplement income raised from the hire of the hall, events are held throughout the year to raise funds (and as social occasions), including a skittles evening and two Rural Arts Wiltshire evenings.

The major item of expenditure this year was the refitting of the kitchen, including new cookers, hobs and fridges. This has greatly improved the appearance and practicality of the hall. Other items purchased have included a baby changing platform and a replacement step ladder and vacuum cleaner. The committee is now looking into ways of improving the ventilation in the hall.
