Sand Hutton and Claxton Village Hall Sand Hutton, York, YO41 1LL
The Village Hall was gifted by the Church Commissioners in 1955, after they had acquired the estate from the Walker family. It had originally been the laundry room of Sand Hutton Hall, more details of which can be seen on the Village Heritage webpage. (LINK).

The Hall is a valuable asset to the Community and has been run by a succession of volunteers over the past 64 years. Many of the events help to raise funds to keep the building safe and well maintained. and its viability depends entirely on the support of the local community participating and/ or giving up some time to help with the running of the Hall. Sponsorship, donations and ideas for fund raising and ‘hands on help’ are always welcome, such as clearing away at the end of an event. Please give us support in any way you can ,not least by attending some of the events organised by the Committee.
Volunteers to assist the Management Committee of Trustees are particularly welcome Over the years a succession of residents have been on the Committee and found this to be a rewarding and worthwhile experience.
