~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Happy New Year to our village and wider community of hall users!
Thank you to everyone who came in fine voice and joined in with the carols to make our 2023 Christmas Carol Concert the best yet.
It was standing room only by the time the evening’s proceedings kicked off and what an evening it was… The Siddington School Choir put on a perfect performance and Tutti Flutti brought the Christmas feels with, amongst many other tunes, the very atmospheric instrumental arrangement from Home Alone.
The collection on the night raised £160 for The Children’s Society. Thank you to all who came, donated, sang, smiled, ate and drank, and provided much merriment; here’s to a great 2024.

We are very pleased to have the following four classes taking place for our community to enjoy:
Mondays
Zumba Fitness – 09:30-10:30

On 21st December 2022, Siddington Village Hall celebrated its 101st birthday!
To mark this momentous occasion, we held a Christmas Carol Concert on Wednesday 21st December 2022, postponed from our 100th birthday in 2021 (thank you very much to the Omicron variant for causing us to cancel this event). The hall was full, all the homemade mince pies, sausage rolls, and apple turnovers were gobbled up and we raised over £200 for The Children’s Society.
Thank you to everyone who came and donated food and funds. Thank you also to our special guests: Lord and Lady Apsley. Lord Apsley’s great, great grandfather originally opened and dedicated Siddington Village Hall 101 years ago to the very day!
See our Wilts and Glos pages in Home, http://siddingtonvillagehall.co.uk/archive/ which has reprints from 101-year old articles from the Wilts and Glos Standard describing how Siddington Village Hall came into existence.
***********************************************************************************
The Village Hall is in the centre of the village of Siddington in Gloucestershire which is situated on the southern edge of the Cotswolds and only 5 minutes from both the attractive market town of Cirencester and the Cotswold Water Park.
We are here. Click for a more detailed map.
Facilities include a large and airy main hall which measures 15m x 7.5 m (50ft x 25ft) and has a capacity of approximately 80 people seated and up to 150 standing. This has recently benefited from a new new oak woodblock floor, new heating system and full redecoration, which was designed by Siddington resident Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen and includes his wallpaper designs.
There is also a smaller meeting room which measures 6.8 m x 4.4 m (22ft x 15ft) with a capacity of around 25 – 30.
There is a kitchen with cooker, fridge and kettles with crockery and cutlery. At the rear of the building there is an enclosed grassed garden area.
A wide range of community functions and events occur in the hall and meeting room during the year including village fairs, fetes, quiz nights, the allotment group’s annual grow and show, dances, exercise and dance classes, fund-raising events, children’s and other private parties including Wedding receptions. It is used by the NHS for their outreach rehabilitation courses, St John’s Ambulance, CHYP and other local organisations as a training venue and for the Polling Station for the Parish at election times.
There are a number of car parking spaces within the grounds with additional parking very close by.
