Welcome
All Saints & district Village Hall pride ourselves in being one of the best value and most accessible halls in the district and welcome bookings from everyone, including people further afield.
COVID-19 UPDATE - MAY 2021
We are happy to announce that the hall will be reopening to users on Monday, May 17th, and we look forward to welcoming people back from that date. Special strict Covid Terms and Conditions will still apply to using the hall at least until June 21st and these will be sent to you to read and agree to before we confirm your booking. After the June date, we hope that we will be able to proceed in a more relaxed manner but await Government guidance as to any recommendations or regulations we may need to adhere to at that time.
A huge thank you to all our regular users who have been patiently waiting to return for so long now – it will be lovely to see you all back again and just great to think that we can at last begin to put the hall back to where it rightfully belongs at the heart of our community.

All Saints Village Hall is a charity and Hall – serving the hamlets of All Saints, Alston, Churchill, Smallridge, Coaxdon, South Common and Waggs Plot, in the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty of the Blackdown Hills, near Axminster, East Devon.
The Village Hall is a hive of activity and a central hub for community life.
Built with the help of local volunteers, our building was proudly opened in 1974 and is undoubtedly one of the cornerstones of our local community, where events of a wide-ranging nature take place almost every day. Locals can take advantage of our large car park, spacious interior including an offset bar area and separate large kitchen.
Regular customers include the village school, a local arts group, the Quilters, COGS ladies’ group, dog/puppy training groups and martial arts classes while also providing a regular rehearsal space for the All Saints Offbeats and The Three Counties Band.
We host the village show, All Saints Pantomime, the annual village Christmas concert, weddings, private parties for both old and young and Parish Council meetings throughout the year. In addition, we run our own fundraising events to ensure the Hall remains excellent value to hire for everyone in the community.
Our diverse range of customers and activities goes a long way to showing our flexibility as a venue while the Hall Trustees strive to further improve our facilities, the latest example being the introduction of a fully integrated audio-visual system and broadband Wi-Fi.
Our Ambition
We strive to provide a welcoming, convenient and inviting space in the heart of our community for the enjoyment of local residents and the wider area at large.
Our Amenities & Facilities
The Hall is a single storey, accessible building benefiting from an informal (unlicensed) bar area, fully fitted ‘caterers’ kitchen, wifi and excellent AV facilities.
Seats approx 120 & excellent facilities
The Hall has an open, unobstructed layout that can seat up approximately 120 people (cinema style) for sit-down and 200 standing. We are hired regularly for education sessions, panto and community productions, quiz nights, fitness classes, private parties and weddings. We have a stage which can be extended.
We have central heating; new AV presentation facilities including big screen and sound system; plus tables, crockery and cutlery included with hire. We also host the community’s defibrillator in our car park.
Informal Bar
We have a permanent bar / service area adjacent and open to the side of the main Hall.
This area can be used for a variety of purposes. Most events run a free bar, but a temporary licence can also be arranged for special events.
Refurbished Kitchen
Our kitchen has a large gas cooker, a fridge, a microwave, a commercial dishwasher, a plumbed-in drinking water boiler, kettles, two sinks, one hand basin and a large caterer’s table for preparing and serving.
The kitchen can be used to serve hot and cold food directly to the Hall.
There is no extra charge for the use of the kitchen – which includes glasses, crockery for up to 150 people and a limited supply of cutlery.
We would be thrilled if you'd like to join us at any of our special fundraising or community events.
