The Village Hall

Siddington Village Hall was built between 1921 and 1922 as a memorial to villagers who died in the First World War. The land was donated by the Bathurst Estate and the building work was funded by public donations. For the last 80 years, the hall has been the number one location for getting everyone together. It has been used by the Parish Council; the church; the Women‟s Institute; the Siddington Playgroup; Siddington School; the Parish Plan Action Group; and the Guides and Brownies. Regular events have included the church harvest supper, fetes, the annual Grow and Show, quiz nights, ferret racing and even a Roaring 40s Dance.
