The Leigh & Bransford Memorial Hall and Recreation Ground is probably the largest community hall complex in Worcestershire, with wonderful views of the Malvern Hills. Our building comprises an attractive reception area, two spacious halls, each with their own toilets, a well-equipped central kitchen with adjacent bar and outside a large playing field of more than an acre. The facilities may be hired separately or all together as a complete package.
The Small Hall measures approximately 6m x 10.7m and has the furniture storeroom at the one end. It has capacity for up to 150 people; its own dedicated set of toilets; folding doors that link to the Large Hall and easy access to the central kitchen (with serving hatches); bar area (with serving hatch) and entrance lobby.
The Large Hall measures approximately 7.8m x 15.7m and has a large, curtained stage area at the one end. It has capacity for up to 160 people, its own separate entrance lobby and toilets; folding doors that link to the Small Hall and easy access to the central kitchen; bar area (with serving hatch) and stage with rear door access.
Both halls, when hired together, are ideal for larger gatherings, accommodating up to 310 people. The folding doors between the two halls give greater flexibility to create separate and distinct areas for different activities that may be taking place during your event, such as eating, dancing and quiet seating areas.
Our weekend Wedding Package gives you exclusive use of our entire community hall complex including the use of the field from 1.30pm on Friday to 1.30pm on Sunday. Plenty of time to decorate; dress the tables; prep the catering and then afterwards to clean up and clear away on the Sunday. Contact us if your wedding doesn’t fall over a weekend.
Our site also has an attractive flat field of over an acre that is ideal for sporting parties, sports clubs, bouncy castle parties, car boot sales, BBQs or even events that require a marquee. The field can be hired with either hall or as a stand-alone. Access for vehicles, if required, can be made available through a separate gateway. See our FAQs for more details.
There are, subject to availability, overnight spaces for motor homes, caravans and/or tents for those of you attending an event at the Hall. Access to the camping field is through a securely locked gate from the car park. You will have overnight access to the Hall’s toilets and kitchen – but please note there are no shower facilities.
"We were looking for a venue for a big birthday party and were so lucky to have found the Memorial Hall. We used one of the rooms for the children’s entertainment and the larger Hall for our 100 or so adult guests to sit down and have a meal. The large kitchen with the 3 fridges was very useful and we produced lunch for everybody with a local theme. The field was very safe and popular with the children. We were able to invite the donkeys and a local petting zoo and inside a table magician and a jazz duo entertained us all. There was lovely weather, plenty of parking and the whole day could not have gone any better."

"Olivia celebrated her 5th birthday at the Leigh & Bransford Memorial Hall. It was a day to remember! The hall was the perfect venue as we had so many children from school and family friends coming. We were able to accommodate a bouncy castle alongside a ball pit in the Small Hall and there was still space for a long table for all the children to sit down for a meal. Olivia had the best party, and we all created lovely memories to cherish. We had a lovely experience booking the hall and will be using it again for future family celebrations."

"All of our guests commented on just how beautiful the drive to the venue was, how spacious the halls were and how the setting was stunning. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we are so pleased we chose the Leigh and Bransford Memorial Hall for our wedding event. We were really touched and surprised by the wedding card and gift delivered while we were setting up. Thank you so much for these."

"Every year we book a big space where our families can get together and spend the day eating, chatting and having the best time. This year we booked the Leigh and Bransford Memorial Hall. Everyone brings a dish each, a Bouncy Castle is hired, the barbeque is fired up and games are played both inside and outside. It is just one of the days when most of us can take time off work and spend the whole day together. We really did have the most fun and loving day. Thank you."

"Sofia had a unicorn princess-themed party, complete with wiggle cars and a princess bouncy castle. We played pass the parcel and she had a homemade unicorn cake! Thanks so much for having us, it was a brilliant 5th birthday party. We loved the hall as did so many of the other parents".

"I find you and your team very professional and easy to work with. Thank you so much for that, it helps me enormously. We all love it here. I have been most impressed to see the full text of the poem For the Fallen by Laurence Binyon at the Hall. Extracts from it are commonly quoted but their full context is often overlooked. It is a stunning poem. And I am really looking forward to seeing how the garden area comes to life."

"For our Family Fun Day we transformed the field into a Festival park, with a live singer, face paint tent, garden games stations and a range of inflatables, including bungee runs and gladiator duels. Great for the children and the adults!!! But the main attraction was the silent disco tent, which proved to be an excellent addition. And the hall itself was turned into a tea, coffee and cake station, with invited guests bringing a cake to share. We had such a brilliant day – it was wonderful to hire a venue that allowed us to bring our vision to life. All the guests commented on what an amazing venue it is and how they’d like to do it again every year!"

"Toby’s party at the Leigh and Bransford Memorial Hall today was just amazing! I supplied the One Hour Party Package including games, prizes, magic show and balloon animals for all and loads of fun and laughter. After me the kids had a complete set of Fun-Fair Games including Hook-a-Duck, Limbo Dancing, Ball-in-the-Bucket, Tin Can Alley, Coconut Shy and more!"
