Located
on Brentwood Road, Bamford, the Moore Memorial Hall is a single-storey, pleasant, well-used small village hall, built in the
1930s partly by public subscription. In common with other village amenities, the hall has benefited by very generous
contributions from the late Stephen Sampson.
Consequently, the hall has recently been refurbished throughout:
new roof; new heating system; new toilet facilities, including disabled toilet; double glazing; new floor coverings; and wall,
ceiling and floor insulation. The kitchen has been completely refurbished with new appliances and cabinets. Work
is in hand to improve access to the garden.
The Hall offers bright, comfortable and practical accommodation for groups
of up to 50 people. There is one large room with a seating capacity of 50. There are folding tables and smaller
card tables. The kitchen is well equipped with oven, hob, fridge, microwave, cups and saucers.
Hire charges
are on a sliding scale. Children's groups are charged £4 per hour; adult groups and fund-raising events £5.50
per hour. Private parties are charged £6.50 per hour. Other rates are available on application to the Bookings
Officer - sue@firth565.fsnet.co.uk.
The Hall has charitable status (number 1079637) and is run by a local group of volunteers (Trustees) mainly formed
by members of user groups plus ex-officio members: Chairperson, Treasurer and Secretary.
A number of local groups use
the Hall on a regular basis: Toddlers, Cubs, Brownies and Guides, Young Farmers, Wine Circle and the Women's Institute.
The Hall is also the usual venue for charity coffee mornings and other fund-raising events organised by various organisations
in Bamford.
