Beare Green Village Hall

Probably the best village hall in Surrey. Some of you will have visited us as a covid regional vaccination centre. Main Hall is a whopping 14.7m by 10.7m; the ceiling height is 5.5m. It is ‘the place to go’ for children's parties, business meetings and coffee-mornings. It is air conditioned, so it can be cool in summer, and has a beautiful view over the village pond, can seat 100 comfortably and has capacity for a maximum of 280 people standing; for large public meetings that we host where all are seated and need to see the screen, we have found about 150 to be a sensible upper limit. For conferences or other needs it can be blacked out or dimmed via blinds if needed, has dimmable LED lighting, and has anti-echo ceiling tiles giving excellent acoustics, as well as a large, powerful projector and large screen, audio facilities including a sound loop, and even a piano. If you need to connect your sound source (mobile phone or anything else) to our Denon amplifier, just let us know (airplay on apple, or HEOS app on Android, will do it easily, but you must be connected to the same WiFi as the amplifier). The screen connection is HDMI type. If you have a modern laptop, which adds audio to its video HDMI output, our amp can pick up that audio from the HDMI output.

There is a blueray DVD player which is able to connect to BBC iplayer, Netflix, Amazon Movies (on your accounts) and similar, if needed (we have a BBC television licence, and reasonably fast wifi, at about 50 MB/s).

Front Hall - This is smaller (5.4m by 5.3m). and is perfect for smaller groups of up to 45 standing, or 25 seated. It too has a projector/screen with an HDMI connection and (via 3.5mm jack plug, which fits into a standard sized small headphone socket, or connects to an apple iphone via a "lightning" adaptor) sound system.

Meeting Room - This has a capacity to seat 20 people. It is 4.75m by 4.4m. A user (the vaccination centre) is currently hiring the meeting room for long term storage (as at April 2024) ready for their return, so it is not available for hire (as at April 2024), but do enquire.
Tables and chairs are provided in each hall and room sufficient for the maximum number of users above.

You will find the village defibrillator on the side of the village hall near the bench, closest to Merebank road. Anyone can very easily use this public defibrillator. No training is expected or needed. You’ll be helped (it, and the 999 operator, can both talk to you). It is NOT for ambulance crews - they have their own !! - it is for you, the public, to save a life. Dial 999 for the entry code to unlock the cover and start using it.

Add the "what three words" app to your phone, every 3 metre square on the planet is uniquely described by three words in a given order; the app lets you navigate there. Much better than a postcode; as used by the emergency services and the coastguard, and increasingly by the public. Our three words are parks.went.doors - or on a computer, go direct to http://w3w.co/parks.went.doors
