Pakenham Village Hall & Playing Field Association 

With the new Children's Play Area opened in October 2023 the Pakenham Village Hall and Playing Field Association are now looking to replace our ageing pavilion which is adjacent to the new play area.  We cant be certain  as to its age but discussing with residents, the pavilion was up to 20 yrs old before being moved to its current location over 30 yrs ago so its served its purpose and ready to be replaced. 

The new Pavilion will be 75% larger,  doubling the size of the social area, renewing the toilets and introducing a separate disabled toilet. A veranda will also be included . The fully insulated construction will be a Net Zero build with pitched roof, solar panels, battery storage, under floor water heating  and a heat source pump. There will be a rain harvesting system which will provide much needed water for the allotments which are a short distance away. This means all year round usage as currently the existing pavilion has no insulation 

Following feedback future uses  include pop up cafe, children's activities, parties, child care, youth club, warm hub, men's shed, craft clubs, social club, business meetings, catering facilities for sports and social events held on the playing field .

We received Planning Permission in January 2025 and with full costings in place we are now in a position to apply for Grants.
