The village hall, located in Syleham (IP21 4LT) but serving the communities of both Syleham and Wingfield, was once the local church school, which closed in approximately 1932. It was leased to the communities in 1982 and, having been extended shortly afterwards, is now a well appointed building with easy access and ample car parking. An air conditioned hall (with stage), lounge area and separate meeting/pool room have access to a well equipped bar. There is a large kitchen and one of the toilets is accessible to the disabled.

The hall has been home to a thriving sports & social club for amost 25 years. Membership is £2.50 (Senior Citizens £2.00) per year and the bar is open to members, their families and guests from 8pm on Tuesday and Friday nights, when darts and pool are available.

Other regular activities are:

• Carpet bowls Monday 7pm
• Jive Club Tuesday 8pm
• Pool Thursday 8pm

A good programme of entertainment throughout the year caters for a wide range of tastes from drama to cabaret through family events. For more details  contact Sports & Social Club Secretary
