Picklescott Village Hall

The Village Hall is at the heart of every fun event in the village and is available for hire for parties or events. It boasts a large heated hall, bar area, kitchen with everything you would need from a tea urn to corkscrew, with plenty of tables and chairs. Outside the hall is half surrounded by grass which is often used for village fetes or BBQ’s and the remaining area is for car parking.

The breadth of events that have gone on under the roof is truly astounding. Live music, comedy nights, talks, fund raising, art clubs, Women’s Institute meetings, quizzes, yoga, ceilidh evenings, parties, wedding receptions, skittles nights, barn dances. Upcoming events are normally advertised in the local parish magazine, outside the hall and on here under What’s On – Latest News.

Some of our more regular events are:

• We show a film most months, see Films Nights for more details.
• The Smethcote Singers meet most Thursday evenings during term time. We’re up to maybe 40 strong now, all from the local villages. Run by a fab choir mistress and everybody has a great time by the sounds of it! New singers always welcome – 7:30-9pm

Village Hall History

The Village Hall was opened on 9th September 1967. The chairs and tables were given in happy memory of Sydney and Dora Walker of Batchcott 1897 -1925 by their family.  Mr. S T Walker (Architect) is remembered for his kindness and commitment to the village. Mr. Walker gave his services as architect for free on the first village hall in 1951.

The £4000 cedar wood hall was the result of the hard work, enthusiasm and determination of its past and present Committee members. Mr. J Muckleston worked alongside Mr. Walker in achieving the acquisition of the first temporary village hall in July 1951.

Mrs. F M Evans was a member of the Village Hall Committee for many years and held the positions of Secretary, Treasurer and Chairperson. Audrey Morris was secretary for 20 years and past Chairmen who played leading roles were Les Morris, Godfrey Cookson, Vic Oakley, Graham Wilcox, Mr. N Willoughby and John Brunt.
