OTTERHAM and St Juliot Village Hall has been awarded a Big Lottery Reaching Communities Buildings Grant of over £400,000 to replace the old dilapidated, second-hand social hall originally erected on the site in the late 1950s.

The hall has served the parishes well over the decades but the life of the building has come to an end. To keep the community well served with a building that has modern facilities and is environmentally sustainable, a fund raising process commenced in 2007 to replace the hall.
