Welcome to Thursley Village Hall

Thursley Village Hall is a beautiful Victorian school building in the heart of Thursley, just off the A3 close to the Hindhead Tunnel. It provides one of the best community facilities in the area - and it loves to be used!

With a large Main hall and separate smaller North hall, fully equipped kitchen and spacious lawned garden to the rear which backs onto Thursley National Nature Reserve, the Hall is a great venue available to hire for events from wedding receptions (with space for erecting a marquee in the garden) to Brownies/Cub Scouts sleepover weekends and all points inbetween.

Everyone is welcome!

Past Events

 

Step into Christmas! with The Gods of Thunder

The beginning of December saw a riotously rocking night of live music and festive fun, from Thursley’s very own Gods of Thunder … We can’t wait for the next one!

Thursley Village Hall CIO AGM

In November, we had our AGM.
If you would like to read the Chairman’s Report on the year to June 2023, here it is. And the Treasurer’s Report:

Thursley Quiz 2023

We had a great evening in October at the Thursley Quiz Nite. Competition was fierce, fish and chips were delicious, chatter was raucous, and in the end … the Thor Trophy was retained by Alison Nesbitt and her team, the Burford Lea Gang! Thor Losers came a close second, with Middle Thursley in third. The Wooden Spoon Award went to Bed Heads, who had been firmly running in the middle of the pack until a sudden dramatic collapse at the end. There will be much to play for next time - watch this space! We raised almost £900 from the evening towards the renovations …

Celtic Croodle - September 2023

We were thrilled to receive funds from a wonderful Celtic Croodle, which took place at St Michaels & All Angels church. Well known singalong songs and solos from all around the British Isles, together with Scottish shortbread, Welsh cakes, Irish fruit cake and English flapjacks, all served with a good old British cuppa. Grateful thanks to Wendy Edwards from Elstead parish for organising, singing, and baking!

The Royal Ball May 2023

A wild evening was had at the Royal Ball to celebrate the coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla. It was the debut performance by Thursley’s very own Gods of Thunder, and the Village Hall was truly rocked to the rafters! Costumes were extravagant and in some cases hilarious, and we toasted the new Royals with gusto …

Ukrainian Varenyky Party

Villagers were treated to a feast of fabulous Ukrainian dishes at a party in the Village Hall to celebrate Ukrainian Christmas, which is on the 7th of January. Arkadii and a team of talented Ukrainian cooks, comprising Andrew, Inna, Svitlana, Nataliia, Yuliia, Eugenia and Svitlana, helped by some of the children - Diana and Mariia - worked for days beforehand to make hundreds of varenyky, special dumplings with different fillings which are traditional in Ukraine. There was something for everyone, with beef, cheese and vegetarian dumplings, served with sour cream, along with gluten-free cheese pancakes, and a delicious beetroot salad. The Ukrainians wanted to say thank-you to the village for welcoming them so warmly, and in the process raised more than £1,000 towards the village hall renovation fund! We were blown away by their generosity and cheerfulness in the face of such an awful tragedy taking place at home. They are a wonderful addition to our community, and we are lucky to have them. Let us hope that 2023 brings peace to Ukraine. Slava Ukraini!

Scarecrow Trail

This event just gets better and better every time! It was so lovely to see so many families walking round the village following the trail, and there were some fantastic scarecrows to fit this year’s theme of spooky villains. The cafe did a booming business in hot dogs - we sold out! Huge thanks to everyone who helped.
