ABOUT OUR HALL
History
The hall opened in 1972. The site is part of a larger recreational area conveyed to the Parish Council by the Leconfield Estate in 1965 for public recreational use. The Parish Council leases the Hall building and car park to the Trustees of Northchapel Village Hall Trust on a 35-year renewable lease at a nominal rent.
The Building
The Hall building was completely refurbished in 2009. Funding was raised through local activities and various grant giving organisations, including Northchapel Parish Council, Chichester District Council, West Sussex County Council, Big Lottery and various Charitable Trusts.
The entrance porch has disabled access, and leads into the spacious main hall, which is attractively furnished with woodblock floor, curtains and blinds. There are folding tables and chairs to seat 100, which are stored in a room off the main hall.
The modern kitchen is fully equipped with double cooker, fast-cycle commercial dishwasher,B fridge and china and cutlery for 100.
Modern toilet facilities include disabled facilities.
Trustees and Management
The Hall building, its use and management are the responsibility of the Trustees of Northchapel Village Hall Trust, a charitable trust formed in 1965 (reg. charity no. 305397). There are currently 6 elected Trustees, representing a cross-section of village life and organisations.
