Memorial Hall The Memorial Hall (registered charity no.1106817) is the village hall for the parish of Wellow.  It was originally established on its site overlooking the village green and its famous maypole  in 1923 as a memorial to the men of the village who had been killed or wounded during the  first World War. Plaques commemorating these villagers, and subsequently those men and  women who likewise served their country in World War II, are still proudly displayed inside the  hall. In 1981 the hall was completely rebuilt, and is available for hire to both village residents  and those from outside the parish. Many Wellow organisations use it for their meetings and  events. Sherwood Crematorium is less than a mile away, making the hall a convenient venue  for functions afterwards.  The hall offers a pleasant room for functions, meetings and classes. It has a sprung wooden  floor, small stage and comfortable seating (new in 2006) for up to 100 people. Wall hooks are  provided to aid the erection of an ‘internal marquee’ to enhance special events, such as  wedding receptions.  There is also a kitchen equipped with electric cooker, microwave, urn and crockery. Hirers  can also have the use of 100 place settings of cutlery if required. Another smaller room, also  with hatch facilities and sink, is ideal for additional catering purposes.  Facilities also include a fully accessible disabled toilet, which has a drop-down baby changing  station as well. A portable ramp is provided for use at the main entrance (where there is a  single low-rise step).  Hiring rates are as follows Like everywhere else, the running costs of the hall have escalated, particularly in recent months. Reluctantly the management committee has taken the decision to raise the letting rates for the hall (it is five years since the last increase).
