Henley-in-Arden Memorial Hall
Memorial Hall, Station Road, Henley-in-Arden, Warwickshire, B95 5JP
From its origins as a centre for public entertainment with reading rooms and a rifle range, its notable service as a V.A.D hospital during World War I, and home to an infant welfare centre, the hall has stood as a silent witness to our town's history. Renovated after World War II as a memorial to those who served, it has been the cherished home of Merrydays Montessori Nursery and Henley Drama Society, amongst others, since the 1950s.
The hall has hosted countless celebrations, meetings, and milestones that have shaped our community's story. Join us for this special day as we recognise the rich history of this modest building and celebrate the dedicated custodians and patrons who have enjoyed and cared for this hall for over a century.
Come and discover the stories within the walls, there may be some local (and not so local!) names you recognise and we’d love for you to share your memories too.
