Ridge Village Hall

Ridge Village Hall is a community venue available to hire in the Hertfordshire village of Ridge, close to Potters Bar, Radlett and Shenley. Set beside St Margaret's Church and surrounded by countryside, it provides a practical, welcoming space for local groups and organisers planning a gathering or celebration.

The hall is used for weddings, christenings and funeral wakes, as well as village social occasions, charity lunches and children's parties. Its single main room can accommodate around 60 to 80 people, depending on the layout and seating. The venue also welcomes enquiries for activities such as examinations, exercise classes and filming, though organisers should check that their intended use is accepted before booking. Adult parties are not permitted, and availability can depend on the event.

Hire includes use of the accessible hall and its fitted kitchen. The kitchen has an oven and grill, microwave, fridge and kettle, with a serving hatch into the main room. Tables and chairs are provided, including smaller furniture for children. Crockery, cutlery and glasses are not supplied, so hirers should make their own arrangements for these items. There is wheelchair access and an accessible toilet.

Organisers should include set-up and clear-down time in their booking, as all time spent using the venue needs to be covered by the hire period. The hall is run by a voluntary management committee, and prospective hirers can arrange a visit to see whether the space suits their plans. Contact the bookings team to ask about availability, suitability and hire arrangements.
