Modern, purpose built village hall set in its own grounds for rent at only £5 per hour.
Hutton Roof Village Hall can accommodate up to 85 people and has a well equipped kitchen including crockery and cutlery. Disabled access has recently been improved with disabled parking and ramps from the car park. This improvement has been possible thanks to grants from the Frieda Scott Trust and the Kent Neighbourhood Forum. |

The Wigby Walkers did and said "All our walkers agreed how welcoming Sue and Jacky were last Wednesday and how delicious the cakes were and they would like me to say a big thank you for looking after us so well."
You can use the hall car park and toilet facilities and we will provide refreshments at very competitive prices. Booking essential. Please contact us to discuss your requirements. |

Why not hold your business meeting, conference or training day at the village hall? Cumbria Local Access Forum did - and really enjoyed the location and the home cooking. We can provide teas, coffees, lunches etc at competitive prices. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Hall Moderisation Project |
The committee is currently working on obtaining new windows and doors, loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, underfloor insulation and electrical improvements. The total cost of the work will be in the region of £17,000 and we have now secured grants to cover as much of this as possible. The hall was built nearly 30 years ago (by the villagers themselves) and the insulation has not been brought up to date. Modern levels of insulation, including A rated double glazing will make the hall much more comfortable to use and reduce heating bills. We hope this will boost the usage of the hall, especially in the winter months.

On 22nd July 2009 we were awarded a grant of £600 by Kent Estuary Neighbourhood Forum towards the cost of insulating the hall. The forum is part of Cumbria County Council and supports local community groups in many ways including meeting in local buildings such as village halls. It is definately worth attending a meeting which will have a number of interesting speakers on local issues. We would like to thank the staff for their help with the grant application process and the forum for deciding to support our project. http://www.cumbria.gov.uk/neighbourhoodforums/forums/south-lakeland/kent |
| On 11th September 2009 we obtained approval for our grant application to the Cumbria Waste Management Environment Trust. We have now had an energy audit as required and electrical work has started. A full upgrade of the insulation will follow. The grant for £5800 depended on the Neighbourhood forum grant being awarded. Once again we had a lot of help from the staff administering the grants and we would like to them for their help with the grant application process. |
On 9th December 2009, the Big Lottery Fund announced that we had been awarded £9000 for the hall modernisation project. This has paid most of the bill for the new windows and doors, supplied and fitted by Andersons.
Andersons have done a great job for us and I'm sure you will agree the new doors and windows are very smart and make a tremendous difference to the look and feel of the hall.
The balance of the cost for all this work comes from money raised at the annual fell race and country fair held at the end of May each year. |
