The Perfect Venue in Woodhall Spa

Whether you wish to host a party or hold an event, Coronation Hall is the perfect venue for a wide variety of events, including children's parties, wedding receptions, charity events and classes.

In addition to the main hall, there is an outdoor five-a-side hard court, which is perfect for a range of sports and active groups.

A key feature of the hall is its sprung mahogany floor, which provides an excellent surface for dancing, exercise classes and indoor activities. The venue also includes a stage, a relaxed lounge and coffee area.

The Hall and its Facilities

Located in the heart of Woodhall Spa, Coronation Hall is a flexible and welcoming community venue suitable for a wide range of events and activities. Whether you’re planning a wedding reception, hosting a class or organising a community event, the hall offers a practical and comfortable space that can be easily adapted to suit your needs.

The hall provides ample off-street parking, making it easy and convenient for guests, organisers and visitors to access the venue.

Built in 1953, Coronation Hall has a long history of serving the local community. After several years under lease to Lincolnshire County Council, responsibility for running the hall transferred to a group of local Trustees in 2008, ensuring it continued as a valued community asset. Prior to the handover, Lincolnshire County Council carried out a number of significant improvements. These included the installation of double glazing, a suspended ceiling, a fully accessible disabled toilet and ramps to improve access throughout the building.

Since taking over, the Trustees have continued to invest in the hall. The building was redecorated, gas-fired central heating was installed with radiators in every area ( including the toilets) and a completely new kitchen was fitted with modern appliances. New carpeting was also added to the lounge area and entrance hall, helping to create a warm, comfortable and welcoming space for all users.

A Brief History of Coronation Hall

In August 1946, the Woodhall Spa Community Centre Committee was formed. By February 1950 they had raised £702 towards the new Centre. They had also found a surplus Gymnasium/Theatre at RAF Woodhall, situated near Tattershall Thorpe and after considering several possible sites, had chosen the old Victoria Gardens - the gardens of the Victoria Hotel, destroyed by fire on Easter Day, 1920.

The site was cleared by voluntary labour in September 1952 and the re-erection of the building started in 1953.

On the 6th November 1953, a Grand Carnival Dance took place and this was the unofficial opening of the Community Centre. It was formally opened by the Earl of Ancaster on 2nd June 1954. There were difficulties with Hall maintenance and by 1972, the Hall was leased to Lincolnshire County Council. In 2008, the hall was taken over by the Woodhall Spa Coronation Hall Trust.
