Over the past few months, Eynsham Parish Council has been busy making improvements and upgrades to our Village Hall. This is part of our ongoing efforts to invest in our community assets, maintaining and improving them to ensure they remain fit-for-purpose for many years to come.
It’s our Village Hall, only better
So, what have we been up to? One of the first tasks was an upgrade of the lights in the Village Hall to something more energy-efficient. The largest undertaking was a full replacement of the kitchen equipment, including all the machines and the crockery. This took some time, but we now have a high-quality, catering-standard kitchen.
Look down when you’re at the Hall and you may notice that we’ve replaced the flooring in the toilets. We have also added push-pads at the front of the building that enable the doors to become automatic-opening. This ensures the building is accessible for all users.
For those of us trying to work in the Parish Council office, we were delighted to replace the windows with ones that can open, allowing a breeze in on these hot days! The windows in the Thames Valley Police office were also replaced.
Finally, a new Fire Exit door has been fitted and we have started painting the walls to freshen up the space.
And we’re not done yet! The work to upgrade the Village Hall will continue over the coming months, mainly funded by grants. We hope these improvements will allow you to enjoy and optimise the superb spaces we have right in the village.
We must extend a huge thank you to our Deputy Clerk, Richard, who has worked very hard to co-ordinate all the work, supported by our Clerk, Michelle.
Book your perfect venue
Perhaps all these improvements might inspire you to consider the Village Hall as a venue? Whether you want to have a party or run a class, put on a play or have a business meeting, this is a great space to use. We have a central Eynsham location with lots of free parking available nearby, and there is WiFi throughout the building.
Residents can enjoy a discount on hiring fees and choose from a range of spaces available, including the large hall (with stage), a smaller hall, the main kitchen, a smaller kitchen, and office spaces/meeting rooms. All can be booked as a one-off event or for regular booking, with available times/dates quickly identified by viewing our ‘live’ online booking platform, HallMaster: Room Hire - Eynsham Village Hall
