Accessiblity: Lydden Village Hall is a modern large single storey Hall with full disabled access. No steps and a flat entrance via wide double doors enabling easy wheelchair and mobility access, along with easy plant loading and unloading from the car park which is directly outside.
Facilities: The Hall has a small kitchenette area from which volunteers offer tea, coffee and biscuits during a mid meeting break. There are full toilet facilities including a disabled toilet. Wi-fi available.
Directions: The picturesque village of Lydden is approx. 5 miles outside Dover and within easy reach of the main A2 from Canterbury and London. To find us just drive into the centre of village, where you will find the Lydden Bell pub on the main Canterbury Road. Just turn into the pub car park, then drive through the open gate up into the Village Hall car park which you will see ahead of you directly in front of the Hall itself which is located just behind the village pub.
The Hall is also accessible by public transport, being on the regular Dover to Canterbury bus route, with a convenient bus stop in the centre of the village outside the pub. There are also various local railway stations, as well as the main town Station which is Dover Priory, that has a taxi rank and links into the local bus routes.
Parking: The Hall has its own car park, so there is ample free parking available directly outside the Hall. There are no allocated parking bays but plenty of room for loading and unloading at the main front entrance.
