There has been a village hall in Selmeston since 1935. The original idea of a Village Hall was to encourage the social and intellectual life of both Alciston and Selmeston villages. In 1933 fundraising began with local donations and the residents of both parishes levied three pence a week as a contribution to this fund.
In 1999 the hall was extended and additional overflow parking created in 2020.
Today the hall offers all the modern conveniences you'd expect including wifi, contactless payments and multiple lighting options and even a defibrilator. We have a full calendar of community events throughout the year from quizzes to Annual flower shows and Christmas parties.
The hall remains a registered charity number 305307 and is entirely run by volunteers from the parish.
