Welcome to
East Keswick Village Hall

East Keswick Village Hall is the heart of our vibrant community—a welcoming space where people of all ages gather for activities, events, and social connections. It serves East Keswick and nearby villages in the Harewood ward and is home to various community groups and clubs.

As a registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO No.1185608), it is run independently and operates independently, without funding or support from the Parish Council or any other public body.

Built by Volunteers, Powered by community

East Keswick Village Hall is run by a group of Trustees (all volunteers) committed to maintaining the spirit and well-being of our local community.

As a registered charity, we do not generate a profit; all the money we receive from our users is reinvested in running and improving our Village Hall. Basically…by having an event with us, you are helping future guests enjoy our stunning venue in years to come.

It was a very long recommendation that we got from Janine; here is the full text:

"5 stars!! 
East Keswick Village Hall was the perfect venue for our Daughters wedding. Her fiancé is a chef and wanted to do all the cooking with his team and so few places let you do that. Everything was beautifully clean and equipment and services in house and from outsourcing were brilliant. 
We decorated the hall with lights and shiny bright bunting, the kitchen was pretty good and extra fridges were hired to house the prepped food etc.
The bar was also hired to make everything easier.
We had our ceremony outside which was fantastic as the view was stunning and we even had inquisitive calves in the field next to the venue to entertain the guests as well. Even if the weather had been bad there would have been enough room to have the ceremony inside, the hall was perfectly sized.
We would definitely recommend EKVillage hall for your event, well managed, plenty of information and lovely staff" (received by Facebook on 27th of May 2024)
