Hempstead Village Hall Management Committee
Hempstead Village Hall Management Committee (VHMC) is a charity, responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the Village Hall and its surrounds, and the green open space to the rear, known as The Glebe.
As a charity, all funds are generated through proceeds from renting the hall out to anyone wishing to hold a meeting or event. Full details of the hall size and charges are available on the following pages.
In 1999 the Village Hall was refurbished and extended with the aid of grants from the National Lottery Charities Board, Essex County Council, Essex Environmental Trust, Uttlesford District Council and Hempstead Parish Council and now provides an up to date community hall with facilities for social and recreation activities. In November 2013 we opened a new patio area at the rear where the natural amphitheatre style is perfect for gatherings.
The patio proved so popular that in Autumn 2021 it was lifted and a new extended patio was laid across the whole rear of the hall, thanks in part to a grant from Uttlesford’s Community Project Scheme. A sun awning was also added above the patio doors thanks to a grant from the Rural Community Council of Essex, another outside light was fitted and electrical socket points were introduced allowing patio events to have lighting and equipment outside.
Whatever your interest, the facilities provided by Hempstead Village Hall can make your event a successful one whether it is for social or fund raising Events, adult or childrens’ parties, celebrations, wedding receptions, drama and musical performances, leisure, education, meetings or seminars.
