Village Hall

Burstall Village Hall is an exceptional Tudor style building constructed just over 100 years ago, an endowment from Lillian Cranfield in memory of her husband who founded Cranfield Mills of Ipswich. As Burstall now has neither a pub nor a shop, the hall is the centre of village life and is the venue for a flourishing Carpet Bowls Clubthe WI, and a monthly cheese and soup lunch, all of which welcome visitors.

Burstall Village Hall

The hall's most important role of the year is however, as the backdrop to Burstall's remarkable Annual Flower Show and Fete which began in 1954. On the first Saturday every August, the hall and its meadow will bustle with activities such as:

  • a marquee will be filled with flowers, vegetable, baking and craft exhibits
  • traditional stalls and fun events for all the family
  • fun dog show
  • classic car show
  • a live music band

But for many the highlight of the day is to be found tucked away in the village hall - delicious homemade afternoon teas.

Available for Hire

This delightful village hall with its well equipped domestic kitchen and pleasant outdoor space is available for hire by local people at moderate cost. It is an ideal venue for children's parties, family events, business and club meetings.
