The Annual General Meeting of Lurgashall Village Hall will take place at the Hall on Tuesday 15th July 2025 at 7pm.
This meeting is open to everyone. The meeting will cover elections to the Committee, the Chairman’s report, the Finance report, any other business and any questions from the floor.
If you have any concerns, queries or good ideas about how our Hall is run as an asset for our community, do please come along to the meeting and join the discussion.
Did you know that Lurgashall Village Hall hires out its tables, chairs, crockery, cutlery, glassware and almost anything else (except the kitchen sink!) that you might need for your party, picnic or big family barbecue? And did you know that the most popular item of hire this past year was…. the tea urn!
Have a look at our list of equipment for hire and our charges. Our rates are very reasonable indeed.
To find out more, please go to our Booking page or contact the Booking Secretary on lvhmc.bookings@gmail.com.

Still only £2 for tea and delicious homemade sandwiches, scones and cakes.
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of John Greenfield, aged 96, on 14th June.
John was a true Lurgashall ‘village boy’. He was born in the parish, went to Lurgashall School in the 1930s-early 1940s and spent his whole working life farming at Upper Roundhurst Farm.
He and his beloved wife Betty lived at Holly Tree Cottage on Tennyson’s Lane from 1951 until Betty’s death in 2012.
Our sincere condolences to John’s nephews and nieces.
