Welcome

Welcome to the website of Sompting Village Hall.  The Hall is situated in West Street, Sompting, West Sussex.  One of Sompting’s most imposing and distinctive buildings, it provides ideal community facilities for the village of Sompting and its immediate vicinity.

Our users, both regular (mainly community organizations) and one-off (usually individuals), enjoy the Hall's homely, spacious and well-equipped facilities at a fraction of the cost that a commercial organisation would charge.  Regular users also benefit from a free web page facility on this site and publicity opportunities via our marketing initiatives.

Hire Charges on Hold.  Following another good year in terms of both Hall usage and our finances, our hire charges have been held at their 2008 levels for 2009.  This is the second consecutive no-increase year for our non-business users.  Hopefully this will help our users, both businesses and community groups, during the current economic difficulties.

Location

 

 

The Hall is situated in West Street, Sompting, on the north side a few yards west of Sompting Recreation Ground and almost opposite Loose Lane, which runs south alongside the west side of the Ground.  Despite our peaceful location in the village, there is easy road access to Worthing only 3 miles away.  An adjustable-scale map and satellite view, with the Hall in the centre, can be accessed here.
