Village Hall

Community Groups & Halls
Stoneham Street
Coggeshall, CO6 1UH
Tel: 01376 563653

In 1927, a 19th-century brewery was converted into the village hall and served as a meeting place for the people of Coggeshall up until World War Two when it was requisitioned as a canteen for servicemen who were billeted in and around the village.

After the war Essex County Council became the owners and ran it up until mid-2003 when they decided that it was surplus to requirements. The Parish Council purchased the hall from the County Council and then undertook the work of bringing the hall up to modern standards and meeting current legislation.

For bookings please contact Polly on 01376 563653.
