New interior glass partition wall, looking from the café / bar to main hall St. Briavels Assembly Rooms 2008 ~ Pre-phase 1 renovation...
After winning a Defra grant of £94,000 from the South West Rural Enterprise Scheme and securing a £96,000 loan from the Charity Bank, renovation of the main village hall finally began on 21st April 2008. The main hall was re-built during 2008 and re-opened in January 2009. This was followed by another phase of refurbishment in 2011 & 2012 as further funds were raised and grants secured from Biffaward, the FODDC LAG 'Rural Development Programme for England' fund, the Summerfield Charitable Trust, Magnox North and the £6,000 from the Parish Council. The radically improved and new look Assembly Rooms re-opened fully in June 2012. Thanks to a stunning new glass partition wall, the Rooms is now a large open plan flexible space consisting of a combination of 3 serpate hireable areas. These are the main hall, the stylish recreation room and cafe/bar area with its own access to the garden and a large backstage area /office suite with seperate acccess to the garden through French doors. The new toilets include a disabled loo and a walk in wet showerroom plus baby changing station. There is also a very pretty reading room to the side, but this currently awaits major works to bring it back into use. Funds are currently being sought to achieve this.
