About our cause
Keelby Village Hall is a large, well-used, Grade II listed historic building that is genuinely at the heart of our community. Our Historic England Listing Number is 1063368 and our address is Village Hall, King Street, Keelby, Grimsby, Lincolnshire. DN41 8EE.
The diverse and eclectic range of activities, events and functions available means there is something for everyone to participate in and enjoy. For example, the Hall is home to Keelby Community Cinema, Keelby Luncheon Club (inaugurated in 1992), the much longer established Keelby Senior Citizens' Christmas Party and the perennially popular Keelby Pantomime.
Please support us throughout this, our forty-fourth year. The property (including the Rifle Range) was purchased by the community, for the community and the Village Hall Committee created to maintain, manage and run it in 1982; a transaction made possible through community fundraising, with the balance of the cost being met by generous grant awards. We are a Registered Charity with the Charity Commission Registration Number 512808. Our lottery provides us with an important source of additional unrestricted income that is also environmentally friendly since it operates entirely digitally! The Committee was thrilled to receive a generous donation of £25.00 of prize money from one of our lottery winners; thank you so much!
We were absolutely delighted when one of our wonderful supporters matched all six numbers and won the jackpot in the draw on Saturday, 23rd March 2024! The Committee, who work really hard to promote the lottery, warmly congratulate the lucky winner and also sincerely thank each and every ticket holder for their ongoing and greatly valued support for the Hall and our community.
Massive thanks go to all at Keelby Community Cinema's Film Night in the Hall on Saturday, 24th October, when we enjoyed a screening of the 2022 blockbuster 'Top Gun: Maverick'. The weather conditions that evening were truly atrocious but, as always, the venue was warm and welcoming, guaranteeing another memorable occasion! Further details of our next, festive, offering on Saturday, 19th December (with both matinee and evening films) will be published on our notice boards and on-line shortly.
Meanwhile, we would love you to join us for the Hall's traditional Tea and Mince Pie Event on Tuesday, 10th November, commencing at 2.00 pm. This long-running, much-anticipated and popular get together offers good company, convivial conversation and of course, that all important early taste of Christmas! Following that we're delighted to invite you to visit the Hall for our annual Open Day, this year on Saturday, 14th November from 10.00 - 2.00. All of the rooms will be open, with information provided on the Hall's many and varied activities, events and functions. We'll also be happy to advise those considering (or currently) subscribing to our 200 Club and/or the Keelby Village Hall Lottery! Light refreshments will be available for your enjoyment too, alongside other more substantial and tasty options!
We need your help so we can continue to improve our award-winning Hall and all it has to offer both now and for the future. Our ground floor offers full accessibility to guests with disabilities and features state-of-the-art toilets that also include baby changing provision. The Dance Room and Snooker Room on the first floor are reached by a stairway. The Hall is also proud to host one of Keelby's two community defibrillators (AEDs). It is in the yellow cabinet to the left of the front door as you approach the building. (The other is on the Sports Pavilion alongside Stallingborough Road). Keelby Village Hall is a Wi-Fi hotspot and indeed, in 2009, had the distinction of being the first community building in West Lindsey to be enabled as such by the District Council, though that arrangement was cancelled by the Committee in 2024 in favour of a contract with Quickline Communications, a commercial provider, offering an up to date FTTP (Fibre to the Premise) connection that is also currently provided to us without charge. NB. Our snooker table was professionally rebaized and had new cushions fitted in November 2019, while the completely new, extended, ground floor toilet facilities were installed during the coronavirus closure period in the summer of 2021. The latter project was made possible by a generous award of funding from the FCC Communities Foundation enabled by a 'match funding' contribution from West Lindsey District Council. Among the other amenities available are a fully equipped modern kitchen, a piano, a stage with up-to-date lighting and sound systems and an immaculately maintained garden. Keelby Village Hall is the pre-eminent community facility in our area and a venue of choice for all manner of activities, events and functions.
The Hall has an especially rich history. Construction commenced 129 years ago in 1897 as the Church Mission and the foundation stone laid by the Right Honourable Victoria, Countess of Yarborough (the dowager Countess) in November of that year can still be seen. A subsequent substantial bequest in the Estate of Miss Elizabeth Dawson enabled the extension of the building in 1910 when it became the Church Institute and took the form we now know as Keelby Village Hall.
We are presently fundraising to enable the sustainable refurbishment and reinstallation of the Hall's iconic clock as an appropriate and befitting way to mark the remarkable 70 year reign of HM Queen Elizabeth II. The clock, which is contemporaneous with the second phase of construction, has not been operational for some years now. Please support us in delivering this important project on behalf of the Keelby community.
Our current competitive and modest charge rates are (per hour): Dance Room...£15.00, Main Hall...£20.00, Meeting Rooms (choice of two)...£15.00 and Snooker Room...£15.00 and (per event): Children's Parties (up to age 13)...£65.00. We'll be delighted to provide quotations for all other events upon request. For bookings (or enquiries) please contact Mr Fred White, our Booking Secretary and Keyholder, on 07305 184389. We are here to help you! Please see our newsletters, notice boards or this page for up-to-date details of the Hall's exciting programme of forthcoming events.
Finally, we are delighted to announce that the winning numbers in October's 200 Club draw, held on Tuesday, 13th., were: 1st (£20.00 prize) no. 11; 2nd (£15.00 prize) no. 99 and 3rd (£10.00 prize) no. 97. Warm congratulations go to each lucky winners with huge thanks, too, to all ticket holders for your much-appreciated participation!
Thank you for your valued support and good luck!
Yours sincerely,
Keelby Village Hall Committee
