The Heart of Our Community

Our Mission and History

The Creech St Michael Village Hall, built in 1988, sits proudly at the centre of our village. It is managed and maintained by a dedicated Management Committee made up entirely of local volunteers. Our core mission is to provide a safe, warm, and inviting facility that benefits every member of our local community.​

In the last couple of years we have completed a major programme of refurbishment to modernise the Hall, ensuring it meets the needs of today's users:

• Updated Facilities: All toilet facilities have been completely updated, including the installation of a new accessible toilet and a unisex toilet with baby-changing facilities.

• Refitted Kitchen: The main kitchen has been fully refitted and equipped to easily cater large events for the Chown Hall, complete with a large serving hatch.

• Cartwright Room Refresh: This room now boasts its own adjacent facilities, including a private toilet and a small kitchenette for hot drinks— dashing out in the rain is no longer required!

• State-of-the-Art Tech: A new audio-visual system has been installed, perfect for film nights, corporate presentations, and training events.
