Farningham Village Hall is located in the heart of Farningham, adjacent to the historic Market Meadow.
The hall is a hub for many local groups, hosting regular weekly or monthly activities. It also offers ideal facilities for parties, weddings, celebrations, and various events. You can hire individual rooms or the entire building, with the option to include Market Meadow.
Market Meadow has a rich history, with its first recorded use dating back to 1270 when Ralph de Fremingham was granted the right to hold a weekly market and an annual fair. In 1972, the 14-foot thick walls of his castle were discovered at Market Meadow. For centuries, the market and fair provided work for the local community.
Today, Market Meadow continues to be a vibrant space, hosting the annual Village Fete.
Whether you’re planning a community event or a personal celebration, Farningham Village Hall and Market Meadow offer versatile and welcoming spaces to suit your needs.
Farningham Village Hall, opened in 1938, was designed by trailblazing architect Jessica Albery and remains a cherished community hub. Over the years, the hall has expanded with her guidance, becoming a key venue for local organisations and activities, from playgroups to fitness classes. It operates as a non-profit charity, supporting the physical, mental, and social development of residents and visitors alike. The hall’s fascinating history, including its links to the Albery family and the acquisition of Market Meadow, is a testament to its lasting impact on the community.
