Village Hall

Our village hall is called The Reading Room. In recent years, it has been renovated and serves both St Lawrence Church and the local community. It is available to hire.

 

It is a suitable venue for conference and away-days, day-centres and private parties.  It is equipped with chairs and tables and there's a wifi system, a sound system with hearing loop, and a projector. The fully-fitted kitchen includes an oven, hob, microwave, fridge, crockery and glasses.

The Reading Room is situated on the outskirts of Salisbury, on the edge of the Avon Valley below Old Sarum, opposite St Lawrence Church. A green space has been preserved at the side of the hall and it faces onto a generous and gravelled all-weather car park. Refurbishment has preserved the ambience of a late Victorian village hall in the Romantic tradition whilst providing modern standards of comfort and services including wide-door access and a disabled toilet.

 

The hall has space for up to 60 persons at a fully seated function. It is 11.5m long and 6.5m wide. The fully-equipped kitchen measures 2.5m x 5.5m.
