The Rixton-with-Glazebrook Community Hall has been a hub of activity since it was built in 1972. In 2021 the Hall received a major refurbishment and is open and running again to serve the community for another 50 years and more. (see news link below for more information on the refurbishment).

The Hall was originally built due of the efforts of the villagers who lived in the parish at that time, having raised a quarter of the costs of the hall build themselves, which then entitled them to apply for grants to make up the final amount required. The Hall Committee’s aim for the refurbishment project was for the Hall to be aesthetically pleasing with a clean-look that would be acceptable for weddings and prestigious functions, as well as fit for community group activities. This has definitely been achieved, with the Hall now looking attractive as well as functional.

To this day the Community Hall still belongs to the community of Rixton-with-Glazebrook and is run by the Hall Committee, a group of local volunteers, made up of Parish group representatives and Parish members. The committee is elected annually.

The Hall is home to various activities taking place both daytime and evenings. Groups and classes running regularly from The Community Hall include: – Exercise classes (including Yoga & Pilates – Community Coffee Morning – Indoor Bowling – Art Class – WI Craft Sessions – Baby Massage and Movers – Wellbeing for Women.
