History

When the Association was founded in 1964 one of the first objectives was to build a local Community Hall for use by the Association and its members. After ten years of enthusiastic fundraising, Hallam Community Hall was opened for business in 1974, built in the grounds of Hall School, Hallam Grange Crescent on land leased from the Local Education Authority.

It very soon became obvious that the original Hall was not big enough, and in 1978 an extension was added. In 1987 the original pre-fabricated building with a flat roof was converted into a fully brick-built building with a pitched and tiled roof. In 1997 an annex to the Hall was opened, providing much needed changing rooms complete with showering facilities, and a good sized meeting/training room. All these works were paid for using funds raised by the Association, with a little help from Sheffield City Council. The later additions were aided enormously by grants awarded by the National Lottery, and various other charitable organisations.

The Hall is in use almost every day of the week, morning, afternoon and evening, with the various section activities, and is widely hired for Wedding, Anniversary, and Birthday Celebrations. It is suitable for both large and small functions (can seat up to 200 people), it has a fully sprung dance floor, full bar facilities, ample car parking, and we can arrange your disco to be presented from our own disco booth. The well-equipped kitchen is popular with local caterers, who recommend the Hallam Community Hall to their clients.

The cost of hiring our facilities is surprisingly reasonable. If you wish to obtain further details please contact our Hall Booking Secretary, Claire Gregory, on (0114) 230 5397, or on e-mail at claire@profactum.com.
