HISTORY

The new Pett Village hall was opened in 2002 to replace the old cherished building which had served the village since the early 1920s.

The new hall was the product of determination and hard work put in by parishioners with the support of donations from local residents, some of whom bought a brick which are displayed in the foyer.

Many fundraising events took place but the project could not have been completed without the financial assistance given by the local councils and a grant from the Lottery Board.

The Hall was officially opened in March 2002 by Paul Merton, the comedian, a local resident at that time. The event is mentioned in his autobiography “Only when I laugh”.
