Downderry and Seaton, two charming Cornish coastal villages, share a vibrant community spirit, with the village hall at their very heart. The village hall welcomes everyone to participate in a diverse range of fundraising events and activities for all ages and abilities, that are so important for the health and wellbeing of our community. These events are organised by the Village Hall Trustees, the dedicated 'Friends of the Village Hall', and other enthusiastic local residents, charities, organisations, and groups.
The primary objective of The Downderry and Seaton Village Hall is to build and retain community cohesion and resilience within our rural Deviock Parish. Our organisation exists to provide a vital and thriving multi-purpose community hub that encourages and enables meaningful social mixing and our Trustees are committed to ensure that the building is designed to meet the needs of our growing and diverse population.
Our aim is to have a village hall that is safe, inclusive, sustainable, and fully accessible. Through co-design and ongoing community engagement, we aim to ensure our village hall directly reflects shifting community needs and priorities, fostering long-term resilience across generations.
The Downderry and Seaton Village Hall is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) with wider membership, Registered Charity Number 1210090.
