Porlock Village Hall is situated at the western end of the High Street at the bottom of
Porlock Hill opposite The Ship Inn.
The original hall, now the Large Hall, was built by public subscription and fund raising
with the foundation stone laid by Mary, Countess of Lovelace, in 1925. The small hall
and adjacent facilities were added in 1974 with a generous gift from Mr R Woodrow and
donations from the people of Porlock.
The Hall is affiliated to the Community Council of Somerset and was awarded a "Hallmark One" certificate in 2004.

The Car Park, adjacent to the hall, is leased to, and operated by, Porlock Parish
Council primarily for the use of users of the hall. It can accommodate 30+ cars and 3

Committee, access to the car park may be controlled by the hirer of the halls during
the period of hire.
