Chalfont St Giles Memorial Hall
The Memorial Hall, completed in 1923, was built to
commemorate servicemen from the village killed in the Great War and it
continues to be used for a wide variety of village activities. The new
Millennium entrance, opened in July 1999, has greatly improved the Hall by
adding modern toilet facilities, as well as providing a very welcoming
entrance foyer. The Hall has its own car park and it is now an ideal venue
for meetings and business events and for private functions such as dances
and wedding receptions.
There is a large kitchen with facilities for the
provision of meals. The Hall, licensed to hold up to 200 people, may be
hired for commercial events at a rate of £17.00 per hour and for private
events at a rate of £12.00 per hour. Note: These are the rates for 2007.
Bookings can be made by ringing Stuart Hoskins on 01494 872674.
