The Village Hall is central to Naburn life and is used for a wide range of events including the summer gala, the Christmas bazaar (complete with Santa’s grotto!), quiz nights, children’s birthday parties, and a variety of group and club meetings. It's also pressed into use as a Polling Station on election days.
Completely renewed in 2009, the play area behind the hall boasts a games pitch and a playground with a range of equipment including climbing frames and blocks, swings, slides and roundabouts. The pitch is used for football, rounders and other field sports.

The Hall is a former NAAFI hut recovered from Filey RAF Camp in 1946 and erected on its present site (given in trust by Commander George Bryan Palmes of Naburn Hall) in Vicarage Lane in 1947. Considering that it’s a second-hand “temporary” building, the hall has served the community remarkably for well over 60 years! It was completely renovated in 2010 and is managed as a registered charity by a committee, consisting of up to 14 members elected for 12 months at the annual AGM.
