Welcome

Our village hall has been at the centre of community gatherings since it was formally opened by Viscount Leverhulme in 1950. Built on donated land and located centrally within our five villages of Mollington, Lea-by-Backford, Backford, Chorlton and Caughall. See link https://www.thefivevillages.org.uk for community information.

Hire the Hall

Our hall has been hired in the past for just about anything from weddings, sports activities, learning groups, band practise, discrete business meetings, theatre groups, family get-togethers, concerts and so on. See here for rates or click here to email the booking secretary for help or a viewing.

NOTE: From January 2021 only our main hall (17 x 13.5m) including a stage will be available for hire subject to guidelines at the time of any proposed hiring. Other spaces are available for hire for December 2020 only from 2nd December 2020. (ie they will not be available from January 2021).

Current guidelines can be seen here. There is a plan here available showing the effect of current 6’/2m distances on where and how many people can use the main hall.

latest news on Village Hall Rebuild Project

Work has just started at the Station Road village hall site in Backford.

MPH Construction Ltd ‘broke ground’ on 4^th January at the start of the community’s £1m project to build a new hall. Once completed the old 1950 hall will be demolished.

Site levels and footings are being prepared as the pic shows.

An exciting physical start to a project four years in preparation made possible by generous national funders, local funders, many, many hall events, and private donors.

The hall committee would like to thank our local community and our three parish councils for their financial contributions of £50,000 via the precept, a significant factor in making this community asset happen.

With the ground prepared, the next jobs include concrete pouring followed by steelwork erection. More soon.
