We celebrated in September 2020 our 15 years of service to Belton and the surrounding area. 

The Hall was renovated in 2005 with full central heating and first class kitchen facilities. As well as the main hall there is a small rear room, known as the Green Room that is ideal for small meetings and events.
The Hall has full disable facilities to meet all needs.
The Hall is licensed for a maximum of 80 people and has chairs to seat 70. It is fully licensed for music.
There is a full size pull down projector screen if required.
The Hall is ideal for parties, receptions and other family gatherings.
Although parking is limited by the hall, cars can be parked at the Tavern Pub 60 metres away.

The Trustees are pleased to announce that we now have a fully automated defibrillator at the hall if a collapse from a cardiac arrest or other illness did happen. The unit is fully automated and would guide by voice any user to carry out the correct procedure.

A GREAT CHARITY TEA PARTY

A great afternoon was had by all with thanks given by Councillor Adrian Myers. Barbara thanked all who attended especially the catering ladies. Over £500 was raised.
