The Hall was registered as a charity from the very beginning and continues to to meet its original objectives which were to provide a range of recreational activities, intellectual, sporting, educational events and classes whilst providing a place of entertainment for the people of Marshchapel and the surrounding area.
With this in mind the Hall currently provides a range of regular activities and events for wide range of ages. There are weekly children’s’ dance classes, adult fitness training, the local infants school use the hall for their PE classes and there is short mat bowls. For ten months of the year there is an Artisan Market and monthly bingo sessions. Throughout the year there are suppers, dinners and other social events which bring the community together and some help us raise funds.
