About Us
The Lockerley and East Dean War Memorial Hall – to use its full name – was built in the early 1900s. The land was donated to the villages of Lockerley and East Dean by Frederick Dalgety. The building has been extended significantly over the years and in the late 1990s a separate wing was added to house our Children and Young People activities.
As a Memorial Hall, the building carries two plaques which commemorate events in the two world wars that took place in the 1900s. One plaque to the side of the Coffee Shop Annex, notes those of the village who fell in the first world war – aka ‘The Great War’. A simple stone paviar, set into the ground of the entrance to the hall, commemorates the Victoria Cross of Frederick Luke.
Regular events
The Hall hosts a number of regular activities available for you to join, including our local post office, coffee shop, art group, badminton club and brownies and guides groups. Check our calendar to find out what’s going.
- The Post Office is open Monday and Thursday mornings from 9:00am to 12:00pm, excluding bank holidays.
- The Coffee Shop is open on Monday and Thursday mornings with the same hours as the Post Office.
Volunteering Opportunities
The Hall and its facilities are completely managed and maintained by volunteers. If you would like to contribute to help in the running of the Hall, we are always looking for people to help care for the hall and arrange fund-raising events in aid of hall funds. We are dependant upon this kind of income for the essential up-keep of the hall.
Whether you have a brilliant idea for a fundraising event with a spare couple of hours on your hands, or some spare capacity in your week on a more regular basis, or would like to join one of our organised workdays or project teams, we will always actively utilise spare pairs of hands!
If you think you can help, please don’t hesitate to contact us to get in touch.
Hall Hire
Hiring the hall or any of its rooms and/or equipment, such as tables, chairs, chair covers, crockery and cutlery, is really easy. Please go to the’How to Hire’ page.
The ‘How to Hire’ menu includes a video which will take you through the booking process.
A little bit of important additional information …
A public access defibrillator is installed under the entrance porch; instructions for its use are found on the front panel of the defibrillator.
