St Lawrence Village Hall is an old building, built in the Victorian period on a steeply sloping site. Access from the road is via a steep but wide sloping tarmac path of approx 30 metres.
There are two stone steps into the main entrance of the building, but a portable ramp is available on request. Once inside the entrance lobby, the main hall, the kitchen, ladies toilets, and gents toilets are on the same level.
There is a disabled access toilet but this is up 3 steps from the entrance lobby. However there is step-free access to this toilet around the outside of the building and back in through the small meeting room.
The small meeting room is adjacent to the disabled access toilet, and shares the same 3 steps up from the entrance lobby. There is step-free access into the small meeting from outside the building. The disabled access toilet is on this same level.
Unfortunately, as the hall is built on a sloping site, the only access to the garden at the rear is up four stone steps. However there are wide step-free paved areas around the hall, and exterior benches at the front with a view overlooking the sea.
