The village hall is on the Main Street next to the Bradgate public house. Originally built in wood, the present building was built in 1930 by Lindsay Everard of the well known brewing company.

In 1972 Everards granted the Parish Council a lease at a peppercorn rent provided it was managed by a competent committee.

It was refurbished in 2001 and is indeed run by a competent Committee of Representatives from many of the village organizations and headed by the Chairman, Toby Manning, although the rent is no longer a peppercorn. He replaced Michael Upstone in 2014, and is the latest in a long list of past Chairman who have all worked extremely hard to keep the building in good repair.

The facilities may be hired for private functions. the Bar facilities are good.
