The Jubilee Hall is located in the centre of the pretty village of Newton on the Moor. It is made of locally quarried stone and was once part of an eighteenth century house. Sometime in the late 1800’s the second storey of the property was removed and the stone used to build the attached Jubilee Hall to celebrate Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee. The hall was given to the village by the local land owner at that time, Shalcross Fitzherbert Widdrington, and is still owned today by his descendants. It is currently managed by a group of volunteer trustees, all resident within the village, and several ‘friends’ who are responsible for the upkeep, continual maintenance and fund raising activities that keep the hall alive. We are a registered charity (no. 1193440).
The hall is all on one level, with a gentle ramp leading to an automatic entrance and a spacious lobby. It includes two toilets, one accessible and one with baby-changing facilities. The Victorian section contains a large hall with a stage, hearing loop, and PA system, while the Georgian Reading Room is well suited to meetings and smaller events. A modern kitchen is also available, equipped with a fridge-freezer, dishwasher, and microwave. In 2024, the hall was used as a filming location for scenes in Danny Boyle’s 28 Years Later.
We hold regular activities including carpet bowls, monthly coffee mornings and music events.
It is a friendly comfortable venue to hire for family celebrations, committee meetings and social events.
