The Hall

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.

ACTIVITIES & EVENTS

The Hall will have a thriving programme of accessible activities and events for the community to get involved in. Check out the timetable below for more information.

A SPACE TO WORK

The Hall is open for people to drop in and get some work done. Whether you’re looking for a quiet place to finish your homework or a desk to send your emails from, there’s a space – and a cup of tea – waiting for you!

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!
