We are open now, and the heating is working again. Use the form above for bookings or enquiries. 

Covid19 update: The hall remains CLOSED to everyone including other hirers. The cost of cleaning is too great to make it viable to open (*assuming hirers are not taking on the cost of the extra cleaning). 

This is reviewed regularly.

Locked-up for lockdown.

The hall is closed as part of the measures to help control the COVID19 pandemic. 

For any enquiries please email

Stay safe.  

Handing Over

It's time to hand over the hall keys, files and booking records to others.

After over ten years of operating, maintaining and taking bookings for the hall, it's time to hand over these tasks to others in the village.  1st Chiseldon Air Scout Group continues to hold the lease and will continue to manage the hall, but Pete and Leo are handing over from this evening.

From negotiating a 99 year lease with the owners, to Honda sharing a group of lovely people for three months to help with refurbishment, to recovering the ladies toilets from an impromptu foam party - its been fun and quite a journey.

One of the hardest things I learnt to do during my IT career was to be strong enough to 'let my baby go'.  We hand the hall over, safe in the knowledge that the hall is on good hands and that Chiseldon village has benefited from our efforts and that makes it all worth while.

Just one more thing to say; thank you to my lovely wife Leo for her efforts with bookings and supporting me when I ran the Cub pack / Scout Group.  She has been amazing.

Calley Memorial Hall - mini update

It has been some time since I updated the blog.  The hall continues to be in operation with the emphasis on making the hall available to the community as cheaply as possible and operating on a not for profit basis.

There is confusion about our contact number. To book the Calley Memorial Hall, please continue to use 01793 741164.

We now have a new kitchen (supplied free of charge) by Howdens (https://www.howdens.com/).

Chiseldon Village Memorial Hall {search term}

Just had a phone call from a local councillor saying he was getting telephone calls asking to book the Calley Memorial Hall.  Looks like he is the trustee for the CHISELDON VILLAGE MEMORIAL HALL trust fund and hence search engines are directing hits his way...  By mentioning this here, we should start to divert some of those calls back to our number; 01793 741164.


Just come over from the hall. Another kids party in full swing.  Loo's cleaned and all spic and span ready for them to have a great event...
