About
Bourne End Village Hall on London Road in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, is a key spot for community activities. Helen, the organiser, wants to highlight just how much the hall has to offer.
Helen has made sure the hall is buzzing throughout the week with dance groups, social groups, a choir, keep-fit classes and more. There’s something for everyone, making it a true hub for the local community.
Throughout the year, Helen has lined up various events such as quiz nights, wine tasting evenings, dinners, village socials, and the popular annual Village Show. The hall is also a venue for many of the local charity events, thanks to Helen's efforts.
For anyone needing a venue for a child’s birthday party, Helen guarantees that Bourne End Village Hall offers plenty of space for both play and food. The added bonus is an outdoor terrace for adults to enjoy in the summer.
The hall itself is a charming brick building with exposed beams and a wooden floor, set in its own grounds with 21 parking spaces, small lawns, a patio, and planters, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Accessibility is also crucial, and the hall is equipped with disabled access and facilities.
Helen is proud of the hall's history, built in 1926 through public subscription and modernised in 1994 with support from Dacorum Borough Council. Updated heating, convenience, and kitchen facilities add to the comfort, and soundproofed doors make it flexible for weddings, parties, classes, meetings, and more.
Bourne End Village Hall operates as a charity, overseen by a committee of voluntary trustees, with Helen dedicated to ensuring it remains a valuable asset for the Hemel Hempstead community.
