The Benenden Village Hall Calendar can be used to check availability if you are looking for a venue or considering hiring one, or both, of our halls for your event. The online booking enquiry form can be used to enquire about availability and costs. If a date appears to be fully booked it is still worth contacting the hall manager to discuss your requirements as many of our regular hirers are flexible and able to accommodate occasional requests to vary the dates or times of their classes or events. You are welcome to arrange a visit to the hall to see the facilities we have to offer.

If you would like to participate in an activity at the hall, the relevant booking entry has additional information about the club, class or activity. Simply select the event for further details, contact details and links to websites and/or social media pages. Information is also available on our Clubs & Classes page. 

If you have a general enquiry, please contact the hall manager or use the online contact form.

If you are considering hiring the hall on a regular basis (weekly or monthly), please see our Availability page for details of when the hall is free.
