Generally referred to as ‘The Village Hall’, the original structure was built in 1914 by the Curzon family assisted with funds from village efforts and sold to the Diocese of Derby in 1931. It was further extended in 1965 to provide a better stage area, and again in 2004 to extend the storage, provide improved toilet facilities including a disabled persons toilet, improve the kitchen, and connect the upper and lower floors with an internal staircase.
The main hall with a sprung wooden floor and a stage area can accommodate between 90 and 110 persons depending on seating arrangements, and has an adjacent Committee Room with hatch access to the kitchen. It’s perfect for dance fitness classes, ballroom and Latin classes, and Salsa classes.
There is limited disabled parking at the front of the building and also a large car park at the rear with a separate, paved and well-lit pedestrian access.
As you leave Allestree, instead of going left at the fork in the road towards Kedleston, go straight on into Quarndon on Church Road. Less that half a mile past the Joiners Arms on the right is St Paul’s Church followed by the Church Hall. The driveway to the hall carpark at the rear is between the two buildings. To get you close with your SatNav the post code is DE22 5JA.
