About WVHA

WVHA supports a variety of community venues across Wiltshire and Swindon, this includes village halls, community buildings, meeting spaces and recreation grounds.

The WVHA website has been designed to make it as easy as possible to find a venue which meets your needs. You can select various hall or building features on the main category pages for each type of venue. Individual member profiles also feature icons (in red) at the top of each page above the description box. Clicking on any of these icons will return other venues which also have these facilities.

The profiles on this website are intended as guide, we always recommend that you contact the venue if you have any specific requirements for your event.

From the home page, you can select your current location, you can also search by keyword for example ‘Cherhill’. Finally you can select ‘View on a Map’ from each hall category page, to see where indvidual halls are located in the county.

WVHA does not provide direct booking facilities. If you would like to make a booking enquiry, please contact the venue directly using the contact information listed on individual member profile pages.

Many of the village halls and community buildings on this website provide excellent venues for wedding receptions, private functions and parties. Please visit the home page to view venues by category. If you have a specific event in mind, please contact the venue directly so they can advise on whether the hall or building is suitable for your event.

As with other public venues, village halls and community buildings are subject to licensing laws which govern the sale of alcohol and any planned entertainment at the venue including recorded music, live music and the performing arts. Individual hall profile pages contain information on what type of license is held by that venue.

Some halls are able to obtain a temporary license from the local authority for events and private functions. Please contact the hall or building directly to discuss licensing for your event.

Hallmark is a quality assurance scheme specifically designed for village halls and community buildings, which aims to recognise and reward good practise in hall management and governance. The sheme provides 3 levels of award, each hall or building can be rated from Level 1 to Level 3 (the highest level of award).

To be assessed as part of the Hallmark Scheme in Wiltshire and Swindon, your hall or building must be a member of WVHA.
