This is in a little country village in west sussex. There is a stalwart group who run this place. Many things in the village revolve around the village hall. Sadly thre are few Lodsworth Villagers from the old west sussex families left living there now. Like myself most have moved on. Usually by way of marriage. My sister still lives there and I visit. There is a football and cricket team and a stoolball team. Tennis courts and a croquet lawn. A playing ground for children and fitness equipment for adults! You can hire rooms in the hall under the usual terms. You do have to fend for yourselves

Absolutely superb venue! The Association of Professional Landscapers held an event during February 2018 in partnership with Alan Sargent Consultancy Ltd, hosting a seminar for fifty Designers and Contractors. Everybody was delighted with the Hall, its' facilities and especially car parking room. We will most certainly be back!

Hard to find the sign post points the wrong way so you drive past Google maps takes you to a small village 50 yards up from it
