Hartpury Village Hall, Richdale, Over Old Road, Hartpury, Gloucestershire, GL19 3DH

The new Hartpury Village Hall is due for completion in September 2013. The old hall was small and in a poor state of repair, with inadequate parking. Finance for the new facility, which also includes a children's play area, has come from a variety of sources including 15 different grant funding organisations.

The Gloucestershire Environmental Trust provided funding for the new stage to be installed, providing local drama and musical groups with a modern and well-appointed facility for rehearsing and performing.

The hall will also be used by the local school for activities and concerts. The hall has been designed to accommodate a badminton court, and also includes two meeting rooms, a kitchen, bar and store rooms with heating provided by an air-source heat pump is situated next to the school in the heart of the village. It has taken a great deal of effort over a number of years to make the new hall a reality.
