Village Hall
The tiny
village hall in the centre of the village was once the school. It was built in
about 1855 and closed as a school in 1923. It became the village hall in 1980.
Chaceley Village Hall Committee is a registered charity entrusted to maintain the
hall for the benefit of residents for recreation, meetings, lectures and
classes.
Since 2003 a programme of restoration has been carried out. The roof has
been lined and retiled, a disabled toilet facility installed, the hall itself
has been refurbished including new heating and lighting and a new kitchen
installed. All this work was designed to bring the hall up to 21st century
standards to make it an attractive venue for use by residents the year round.
There is a
premises licence covering the hall for the sale and
provision of alcohol as well as live performances and the playing of music
The main
annual fund raising activity is the summer Pig Roast held in July which
attracts visitors from neighbouring villages and
further afield. Since the completion of the
restoration in 2005 a programme of winter events has
also been held.
