The Village Hall was originally built as a granary in the18th century. The walls are very thick as they are constructed from clay lump - a traditional Norfolk building material. It has been used for various purposes over the years, these include a chicken hut workshop, a caravan business and a storage place for ammunitions during WWII. It was converted to a village hall in 1949.
The Village Hall underwent a major refurbishment project which was completed in 2002. The project involved essential and extensive repairs throughout and the installation of facilities for the disabled. These improvements were supported by: The Community Fund, Norfolk Rural Community Council, South Norfolk District Council, Wymondham Town Council, Awards for All, Wymondham Development Partnership and Norwich Union Staff Community Award Scheme.
The building has recently been repainted (2008) and has had new upvc windows, doors and fascia boards. The trees have grown up well and there are some very nice flower beds and tubs that have been kindly donated and maintained by volunteers.
There are various weekly clubs and activities held at the Hall and special events are regularly organised. The Village Hall Association produces a free newsletter, which is distributed to residents living in Spooner Row, Suton and Wattlefield.
Spooner Row Village Hall is available for private hire - it has a large main hall (maximum 125 people) with a stage, a medium sized room (suitable for meetings) and a large kitchen. There is ample space for car parking at the rear of the building and a meadow for holding major outdoor events.
