The Harrowbarrow and Metherell Village Hall was built to a high standard by
the local community and its facilities are constantly being upgraded. The “Venue in
the Valley” is now considered one of the best village-based facilities in the area,
and it has much to offer…

  • Parking is no problem; the hall is set in its own grounds with a large parking
    area. A well maintained lawn lies to one side; to the other, picnic tables, a
    table-tennis table and a boules court. Exterior lighting is in place for evening
    events.

• There is a large stage with theatre curtains for live entertainment. It is fully lit and can be covered for sound.

• In the main hall there is a projection system perfect for playing out from a
laptop or DVD player, for streaming from the Internet, or for live TV. Excellent
for private functions, for training sessions or for business meetings.

• The powerful sound system can be easily fed from a laptop/tablet, mobile
phone or MP3 player. Connection and operation are very straightforward.

A modern DMX / LED lighting system is installed which can provide a variety
of lighting conditions at the touch of a button, from a warm and welcoming
ambience to a colourful moving-light Disco/Party style.

Specialised, bespoke lighting and sound can also be arranged using the hall’s
well-configured systems.

• The smaller meeting room also has a projection sytem, and can stream from
Live television, Internet productions, DVD or laptop.

Free Wi-Fi is available throughout.

• A Hearing-aid loop is installed.

The Kitchen is very well equipped and can cope with a wide range of catering
requirements. There are two cookers, a large warming cabinet, a microwave
oven, a fridge/freezer, a dishwasher and kettles. Table linen can be provided.

• A large selection of crockery, cutlery, glassware, cookware and utensils are
available.

• There is a large stock of upholstered chairs and ample numbers of folding
trestle tables, coffee tables and card tables to provide a comfortable
environment.

• The Heating system has recently been renewed and is very efficient.

The lawn can easily accommodate a large Marquee, if you decide to hire one in.  The Hall itself can supply smaller “Party tent” which we can erect for you.
Whichever you choose, there is still room for a Bouncy Castle, should you
wish to hire one – music can be piped out to the lawn if required.

Next: The Small Print!

• If you would like tailored lighting or sound, please let us know when making your booking ! We’ll be happy to help.

Hirers are responsible for  cleaning and  putting away all tables and chairs used. (These can be set up beforehand for you upon request, at an additional charge)
• All kitchen equipment must be clean and dry and returned to the correct storage. Teatowels and
dishcloths cannot be provided – sorry!
• Bottles, cans, cardboard etc should be taken home to recycle please.
• Our music licence is until 11pm only, but you can apply for an extension if necessary.
• If you intend selling alcohol, please obtain permission from the Hall management – a temporary
licence from the Local Authority will also be needed, which has to be displayed at the venue.
