Village Hall location map

Felmersham Village Hall was built in the 1975 and is shared with the village lower school - Pinchmill School. The school makes use of the hall during the day while in the evenings and at weekends, the village has access.

The construction of the Village Hall and the school was a joint project between the residents of Felmersham and Radwell and Bedfordshire County Council, the residents contributing an amount equivalent to the value of three detached properties in the village thus enabling the School to have a larger hall and the Villagers to have a facility they had been fundraising for, for many years.

    Village Hall
  • The main hall has a thermoplastic tiled floor.
    Committee Room Committee Room
  • The committee room. Adjacent to the hall, but much smaller, this is fitted with a bar unit, a sink, kettle etc. (The School owns the main kitchen which is not normally available to hirers of the hall.) There is cupboard space available for use by village organisations.
     
  • The playing field was refurbished by the Village Hall Committee in 2009 with the aid of a large grant from landfill operator WREN, and additional help from Bedford Borough Council and the Felmersham and Radwell Community Trust. The existing swings, slide and aerial runway have been kept and eleven new and colourful items added to provide challenging play opportunites for all ages.
    These photos were taken at the opening ceremony on 27 June 2009 when Janet Cook from the Village Hall Committee asked Ben Franklin to cut the ribbon. A letter written by Ben and his friends asking for a new playground had been instrumental in starting the project and was one of the documents included in the application submitted to WREN.
