About Us

Aims

As a registered charity, Welton Memorial Hall exists to serve and strengthen the local community. Our charitable aims are to provide a welcoming, accessible and inclusive space where people of all ages and backgrounds can come together for recreation, learning, celebration, support and community activities. We are committed to promoting community wellbeing, reducing social isolation, encouraging local engagement and helping community groups, clubs and organisations thrive.

Every booking and every pound raised through hall hire is reinvested directly back into the Hall, helping us maintain, improve and develop this valuable community asset for current and future generations. This income supports the upkeep of our facilities, enables ongoing improvements and helps ensure the Hall remains affordable and accessible to the widest possible range of users.

By choosing to hire the Hall or buy tickets to one of our Events you are supporting a local charity, investing in the wellbeing of the community and helping to sustain a vibrant community hub at the heart of Welton for years to come.

About us

Nestled in the heart of the village of Welton, East Yorkshire, at the foot of the beautiful Yorkshire Wolds and just four miles west of the Humber Bridge, Welton Memorial Hall is a thriving community venue with excellent facilities and a rich local heritage.

The Hall combines the character of a Georgian-era frontage with a spacious traditional hall and stage to the rear. Following significant investment by the Hall's trustees, the building has been extensively refurbished and now offers modern toilet facilities, a fully equipped kitchen, a separate meeting room, energy-efficient lighting, heating, and high-speed Wi-Fi throughout.

Our facilities include a cinema system with electric screen, 4K projector and surround sound, together with the appropriate licences for the sale of alcohol and the performance of music, making the Hall suitable for a wide variety of events.

With capacity for up to 200 people standing or 120 seated, the Hall is an ideal venue for weddings, private celebrations, community events, business meetings, performances, film screenings, wellbeing and exercise classes, arts activities, and much more. Situated directly opposite St Mary's Church, Welton, the Hall provides a perfect reception venue for couples marrying in one of East Yorkshire's most attractive village churches. Guests can enjoy the convenience of moving seamlessly from ceremony to celebration, all within the beautiful setting of the village centre.

The Hall is also home to the popular Welton Community Events and provides premises for the Lucky Duck Café, as well as the Welton Memorial Club which is located adjacent to The Hall.
