Friends of Meeching Hall CIO (registration pending) are offering to lease and manage the Hall OR bid to purchase it. Our preferred solution is for Newhaven Town Council to lease it to FOMH at a reasonable cost.

Why is this important?
To advance amateur dramatics, dance and music performances in particular but not exclusively, by providing facilities suitable for public performance and other community uses such as for example celebrations, exercise & wellbeing classes, home school hub, youth club, cinema club, AA meetings and art & craft activities. The facilities – including a full size stage - will be housed at Meeching Hall in Newhaven Town Centre for which the Trustees will be fundraising in order to retain and improve this hall for the public benefit.
