About
Malvern Wells Village Hall lies in the centre of the village on the side of the Malvern Hills, at a height of 150 metres (nearly 500 feet) above sea level. The Hall is on the east side of the Wells Road (A449) and was built on the site of the old National Schoolroom on the strip of land between St Peter’s Churchyard and the main road.
The Village Hall was built in 1898 to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Victoria. Built of the highly fashionable pink/grey Malvern stone (which is no longer quarried) under a steeply pitched red tiled roof with yellow sandstone window mullions and door lintels, it must have been a strikingly colourful building when it was new. The Hall, or Church Institute, as it was called at the time, was given to the Parish of Malvern Wells by Mrs Hannah Finnie whose gift is commemorated on a wall plaque inside the main hall, where there is also a fine carved wooden War Memorial for the servicemen of the village who lost their lives in the two World Wars of the 20th Century.
The hall was refurbished in 2012 and hosts a wide range of activities, clubs and events, as well as accommodating private bookings.
Please note there is no outside flat area and no dedicated car park - on street parking only.
