The village Hall is open most days and evenings and we have a lot of thriving groups in the village covering for example pilates, karate, judo, table tennis, Scottish dancing and craft making. There’s even a railway club that comes here with enthusiasts from all over the area and they test the models they have built on a huge track that runs the length of the hall.
You can book the Village Hall for private use. It has a kitchen facility, toilets, tables and chairs, and plenty of space. Ideal for children’s birthday parties or other family events. Just bring your own entertainment.
The Village Hall has its own website. To make a booking, contact the caretaker, Ron Bell: Tel 07967 969812 or visit the village hall website
As part of the Carbon Neutral project, Llanbedr DC Village Hall now proudly boasts:
• Solar PV (electricity generation) panels
• Solar Thermal panels (to heat the hot water)
• Air Source Heat Pump (to run central heating, including new radiators etc)
• Rainwater Harvesting (to flush the toilets)
• New double glazed windows
• Loft insulation
There are now a total of 22 4kW of solar panels on the south facing roof, which are generating electricity. The Feed In Tariff from these will bring an income to the Hall for years to come.
This is what Denbighshire Free Press had to say in 2013:
“A Denbighshire village hall is the most eco-friendly in Wales as it leads the way in the new green revolution – and makes sure it beats rising energy prices to stay open.
The weather outside may be frightful but inside Llanbedr DC village hall, there will always be a warm glow.
That’s thanks to a major £45,000 program instigated by the community council and led by renewables experts Carbon Zero UK of St Asaph.”
The hall now boasts air source heating which is part powered by solar panels on the roof.
The roof is also used to collect rainwater in a large tank which then supplies water for the hall’s toilets to the tune of 50,000 litres of water a year and that adds up to more than 7000 flushes a year or 142 a week.
The hall has also had loft installation and new doors and windows to make it even more efficient to run. Funding was from Denbighshire County Council, the Denbighshire Voluntary Services Council and from the Rural Key Fund as well as from the community council.
In addition to the work outlined above, the hall has had some more recent improvements. Have a look at the Village Hall website if you would like further information, to read on its history, make a booking, take part in an activity or even start your own group.
