The Hall
The Hall is a brand new community centre in the heart of East Village, the former athlete's village from the 2012 Games. The Hall is run by The Yard Theatre, with The East Village Trust.
The Hall is a new take on the traditional village hall. A brand new community centre in the heart of East Village, run by The Yard, a theatre with a reputation for innovative work in community settings, with the East Village Trust (a trustee group of East Village residents and local stakeholders).
After three years of running Hackney Wick’s community centre, Hub67, The Yard are delighted to also be opening The Hall – a place for people to come together, to discover themselves and their neighbours, and to help build an exciting, sustainable community.
Come in and see the beautiful new space built by Practice Architecture, meet the team and tell us what you think. Activity will be gradually added as the weeks go on.

GET INVOLVED
We’re keen to hear from residents who want to set up their own activity, run events or use The Hall in any number of exciting ways. To chat to the local team about what you might do in the space, email eastvillage@theyardtheatre.co.uk and we’ll go for a chat!
HOW WE'VE DONE IT
Over the last few months, we spoke to hundreds of residents living in East Village, wanting to find out how the centre can best serve its community. We’ve compiled those findings into a report you can read *here*, but it’s very much still a work in progress; we’ll keep building and evolving in response to local people. So come on in, tell us what you need!
The Team
Day-to-day, the space is looked after by the local team: Steven and Katherine. They’d love to meet you.
