Mapplewell & Staincross Village Hall
The Village Hall is a charity run venue with 1 x Conference/business rooms, an intermediate hall and a large hall. All of these are available for short term hire. We also have a number of offices to rent on the outskirts of Barnsley towards Wakefield. As well as being at the heart of the Mapplewell and Staincross community it enjoys an estimated 100,000 visitors a year, many of whom use the Village Library facilities. However, the majority of the activities carried out here are long standing and for that reason they are very well attended. Read More.
