The Cotswolds Hall is an important part of the history of the town. It began life 120 years ago and was first known as Northleach Institute.  The hall received a significant facelift in 1894 with the erection of an additional storey, other rooms were added, and the library converted to a snooker room.  In 1897 the large period clock was installed as a celebration of Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee.

The Cotswold Hall has recently undergone major improvement work.  It now boasts a lift, full central heating, new ladies and disabled toilets, new roof over the bar room and refurbishment and decoration of entrance porch, stairs, main hall and bar.

There is also a SNOOKER HALL - open to members and their guests - from Monday to Saturday

It is now a registered charity, and serves the community in many ways.
