Welcome to Benenden Village Hall
Situated in the beautiful Kentish village of Benenden, the village hall which was opened in 1977, is a bright, modern-looking and spacious venue. The hall and its adjacent recreation field are ideally located in the centre of the village, just off Benenden’s main road (B2086), next to ‘The Bull’ village pub and a short walk from St. George’s Church at the top of the village green.
The venue, available to hire 365 days-a-year, is comprised of two separate halls – the main hall and a smaller hall / meeting room. Both halls can be hired individually or together and are accessed from the communal entrance and lobby. The adjacent recreation field is suitable for a variety of sports and outdoor activities. With ample free parking and disabled access Benenden Village Hall is the ideal venue for clubs, classes, events, wedding receptions, formal functions and parties.
