The Village Room began its life as a purpose-built reading room constructed in stone with a boarded roof covered in slate and with its interior beams exposed in a vaulted roof. It opened to the public in August 1890. Now the Room is a regular venue for meetings including the Parish Council, the Village Society Committee and the Wednesday Group.

The latest revelations and
renovations
The room has been fully renovated. It is now totally insulated with
underfloor heating, new double glazed windows, a brand new kitchen and
disabled toilet. It is now fully accessible for wheel chair users as the
door threshold has been lowered to street level and all sections of
room are at same level. A store room has also been created from the old
toilet area. With grants from The National Lottery Community Fund we
have installed solar panels and batteries to reduce running costs.
On Saturday 27th April 2024 the Mayor of Harrogate, Councillor Michael Harrison cut the ribbon to
celebrate the re-opening of Hampsthwaite Village Room.
Would you like to make a donation or become a sponsor?
