West Hill Hall

Directions Website

West Hill Hall West Hill Hall is the home of West Hill Community Association, which hires to the local community. The main Hall is wheelchair accessible.

There has been a community association in the West Hill area of Brighton since 1976 and the activities pursued by the members have been numerous, often depending on the enthusiasm of individual members. There is committee of Trustees who manage the Hall and the Association's activities. West Hill’s cachement area stretches from the south side of Seven Dials down to the clock tower in Queen’s Road and all roads on the right from the clock tower up D**e Road. All residents are automatically members of West Hill Community Association. West Hill Community Association’s base in Compton Avenue is West Hill Hall, which belonged to the Church until it was offered for sale in 1994. Thanks to the efforts of the then Chair, Sylvia Alexander-Vine, the Association rescued the Hall from the clutches of a property developer, and bought the freehold, financed by fundraising, a small grant from the Single Regeneration Budget, and a sum of money willed to founding member Pam Bean for use in the community. West Hill Hall has thrived as a space for community activities ever since and it is the Association’s intention to keep the Hall available and maintained for continued use. Regular activities can be seen on the timetable on www.westhillwhistler.wordpress.com/1937-2/ and we also hire the Hall out for ad hoc activities to local residents. There are steps into the kitchen. The Association runs a monthly Quiz, two talks a year by invited speakers and an annual Christmas social - all of which are open to residents. Every 30 years or so, it also holds anniversary celebrations for Bright News, a very convenient store in Buckingham Road, owned by our last Chair, Vinod Mashru. It also publishes "The Whistler". A Writers Group met in West Hill for some time and produced some exciting work, including a booklet in 1979 called ‘The West Hill Version’, in an effort to keep people in the area in touch with each other. This included illustrations, crosswords and stories. "The Whistler", the community newspaper published every two months since 1976, developed from the work of these members. It is distributed to every household in the area and is widely read throughout Brighton & Hove. Its aim has always been to maintain and improve communication among the local community, and every effort is made to present a fair and balanced view. "The Whistler" features stories and poems from a diverse range of contributors and our indefatigable regular contributors, the support of local businesses through advertising, donations made via Bright News convenience store and our printer has made it possible for the newspaper to survive for forty years. It has also been published online since 2009.

A new class coming to Seven Dials - for all the early birds!

Well hello cosy season, come on IN! 🕯️

WildBop is going indoors, do we need a new name then? Maybe, but that’s not the point!

Monday mornings, 6:30–7:15am, we’re moving to West Hill Hall, Seven Dials, with cosy lighting, a lightly guided warm up, very carefully curated setlists to encourage all sorts of different movement, optional ceremonial cacao, and weekly themed intentions to start your week right, following whatever’s needed collectively right now.

Don’t be fooled by the cosy interior though, we still like a good bit of bass in here. Expect a real journey through the set, world flavours, tribal fusion, bass, house, melodic and organic, all very carefully picked and blended.

Our first session, Monday 21st September, lands right on the Autumn Equinox, so the theme will be ‘Release’. The one day light and dark stand equal, we’ll dance to let go of what the lighter months didn’t need, before the year turns toward depth.

WildBop, a Monday ritual of intention & dance. Lovely.

Priced between £8–11, we don’t want money to be a barrier to coming, so if you can’t afford full price and it would stop you joining us, please use the concession price.

This is such a beautiful way to start your week right, on a high, with the right mindset. Yes, it’s early, but it’s genuinely worth getting up for.

Booking in advance helps you commit, and it helps us plan for the space too, so grab your spot if this speaks to you.

And if you fancy it, there’s optional ceremonial cacao too, a beautiful heart-opening medicine, enlivening, grounding, prepared with ceremonial grade cacao from Peru, oat milk, a little maple syrup, prayers and love 🫶

Ps. Pic is from the recent Wild Roots-Retreats event where we all had a good rave up in a little room. I need some pics of the hall in cosy lighting.! 🪔

Are you or anyone you know over 50? They may be interested in this fantastic festival which provides opportunities for people aged 50 and over to explore new experiences and meet new people. The festival is a celebration of Brighton and Hove as a City in which to age well, to highlight the many activities that help reduce isolation and increase well-being in the older population

Formerly known as the Older People’s Festival, we have returned in 2019 with a new name to better capture the spirit of Ageing Well in Brighton & Hove.
