The Charles Morris Hall is a traditional village hall in the hamlet of Tyttenhanger Green, a couple of miles south east of the historic city of St Albans, in the county of Hertfordshire, to the north of London … England.
The Hall was built in 1974 at the behest of the residents of Tyttenhanger Green. The building was financed by the sale to the City & District Council of land left to the the community by the late Charles Morris, a local businessman, after whom the Hall is named.
We believe we have one of the best village halls in Hertfordshire and although we could keep this wonderful asset to ourselves, we are pleased to offer it for hire to individuals and organisations outside Tyttenhanger Green.
The Hall is available for hire by residents and non-residents alike and, over the years, a formalised hiring policy for regular and casual (i.e. one-off) hirers has evolved. Regular hirers include clubs, societies and small businesses such as martial arts groups, painting classes and bay and toddler welfare.
Regular hirers – typically those who book the Hall once a week – are accommodated at the Hall Sundays through Fridays. Saturdays are reserved for the exclusive use of casual hirers for functions such as Birthday Celebrations.
You can book the hall here.
The use of the Hall by regular hirers meets a local demand as well as providing a regular source of funds to cover the running costs of the Hall as well as contributing to projects of a capital nature such as the recent replacement of the central heating boiler.
