Car Parking

There is a large car park attached to the Hall. However for really large events, the car park at the Knowle Green Congregational Church may be used. This is situated on the same side of the road a few yards nearer to Longridge and there is a footpath on the opposite side of the road.

Car Park lights at the village hall are automatically turned on during the evening by the sensors when you arrive but to leave them on throughout the evening the zoned switch lights, in the bar area, should be switched from GREEN to WHITE and returned to GREEN on departure. Instructions for this are printed above the zoned switch.
