The Village Hall

Our wonderful Village Hall is a key meeting place for both villagers and the wider community with many events taking place on a weekly or monthly basis. These include:

Exercise classes such as Pilates and Yoga
Sampford Brett Activities Group (SBAG) events, most notably the ‘Pop-ip Pub’
Informal community gatherings such as coffee mornings and ‘Soup Club’
Interest groups such as ‘Gardening Club’ and ‘Sampford Village Singers
Church events such as ‘Cafe Church’ plus an annual harvest supper

You can see the calendar of upcoming events HERE

The VHMC has a Premises License which allows it to sell alcohol through it’s management committee; this facility is used exclusively by SBAG as part of it’s fund-raising programme for local causes which ensures there are no detrimental effects on the hall environs from the sale of alcohol. See the SBAG pages for details of their “Pop-up Pub” events.

The Hall is also available for hire for one off events such as parties, weddings and wakes.

If you would like to enquire about hiring the Hall for regular sessions or a one off event please email bookings@sampfordbrett.org.uk.

LOCATION

The village hall is situated on the right hand side of Croft Meadow just past the church, with a free car park opposite. (TA4 4LE)

MANAGEMENT

The Hall is managed by it’s trustees who meet throughout the year to ensure that it is properly maintained and meets the needs of the whole community.

With the help of volunteers we have made several big imvovements to the building recently, including:

a new accessible-toilet facility
redecorated inside and out
new carpets, lighting and heating
updated projecter and sound equipment
the addition of sound-absorbant ‘clouds’ to improve acoustics

The trustees are very grateful to the Sampford Brett Activities Group (SBAG) who have donated funds to help pay for these improvements.

Sampford Brett Village Hall is registered with the charity commission as a Charitable Incorporated Orgainastion (CIO) (Reg. No: 1215754).

You can find a list of current committee members HERE and the latest Annual General Meeting minutes HERE. A copy of our Charitable Objects is available HERE.

HISTORY

There’s been a Village Hall, or at least moot place, in the village since the early part of the twentieth century, and over the years it’s grown in size, structure and ambition to it’s present day standing. Read a brief potted history of the Hall here - a lovely little document that gives some insight into the evolution of this important building.

Today the Village Hall still fulfils a vital role in bringing the community together and allowing people to take part in a range of activities, without which village life would be sadly and significantly poorer.
