The Holy Island of Lindisfarne

Welcome

The village hall is primarily for use by Islanders and leased to visitors from the mainland to help cover our annual running costs. Our new user-friendly building is accessible from street level by wheelchair or electric buggy. Once inside there are no internal sills and there is a buggy accessible lavatory which includes a baby changing table and shower. As well as the main hall that can accommodate up to 200 guests there are two smaller anterooms for more intimate gatherings. One room can be setup for formal meetings of groups of 16-plus and the second room provides a more intimate gathering place with sofa seating of around 12 persons. The main hall has seating for 180.
