Winston Village Hall
The Village
Winston is a small village conveniently situated just off the A67 between Barnard Castle and Darlington. The village sits high on the ridge above the river Tees and its most notable landmarks are the 13th Century Parish Church and Winston Bridge which was built in 1763. With a 100+ foot span the bridge was at one time the longest single span bridge in England and became famous when a Spitfire flew underneath it for a TV series in the 1980s.
The Hall
The Village Hall was purpose built in 1954 as a memorial hall that was funded by local people. The building has recently been extensively refurbished and modernised and its size and layout make it an ideal venue for private and public events and functions. In December 2011 the hall was assessed as meeting the Hallmark 1 quality standard for Village Halls.
The hall is available for hire for community activities in either the main hall or the smaller supper/meeting room or in both. It has a stage for productions, plays and concerts in addition to the usual social, recreational and committee meeting activities. The refurbished separate kitchen is available to all hirers free of charge.
Regular activities at the hall include Staindrop and District Young Farmers Club, Lunch Club, First Thursday Group and the annual Winston Follies Music Hall in March/April.
