Click for on overall plan of the Village Hall:

And here are also 1:100 scale diagrams of each hall:

• Orchard Hall
• Cherry Hall
• Church Hall

For calculating hall capacity during COVID we also have diagrams marked to show capacity with varying amounts of social distancing.

And here is a 1:100 sheet of ready-to-cut-out tables and chairs allowing you to plan your layout in advance. (Thanks to Upton Village Hall for this)

There are various spaces within the village halls complex available to hire:

1. Cherry Hall
2. Orchard Hall – with or without use of the retractable seating
3. Kitchen – alongside a hall for the preparation of hot food and therefore exclusive use
4. Committee Room
5. Whole complex – i.e. all halls and rooms for exclusive use

NB The foyer is a public space and all users will have access to it unless the entire complex has been hired for the exclusive use of the booking party.  The kitchen may be used by all users for making tea and coffee and cold refreshments unless a user has hired it exclusively for the preparation of food.

Harwell Church Hall can also be booked via the village hall bookings system.  This is a self-contained building including a hall, kitchen, toilets, garden and car park, located about 10mins walk away from the Village Halls complex.

Seated for a meal (using the rectangular tables provided) it’s 120-140 people maximum; 90 seated is very comfortable as shown in the picture below:
