Ashwater Parish Hall was opened in March 2010 by Councillor Barry Parsons. The hall replaced the previous one that had been in constant use since 1929 and had reached its expiry date.
The people of Ashwater donated and raised funds which together with grants from a variety of sources including the Big Lottery Fund enabled the building to be erected on a site donated for the purpose by the late Jack Moon.
The Parish Hall - Registered Charity No: 1016238
The hall was an immediate success with use exceeding all projections and expectations. It was soon obvious to the Trustees that an extension would be required especially as the kitchen was enlarged by use of a small meeting room within a short space of time.

2018/19 AGM
At the AGM, confirmation was received that the application for the new Ashwater Parish Hall Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) had been accepted and registered by the Charity Commission under Registered Charity Number 1178190. The Trustees will now proceed with the necessary arrangements to uplift the assets from the existing charity in due course.
The new CIO can register up 12 Trustees - anyone interested in becoming a trustee? Please let any existing trustee know - it is essential for the smooth running of the hall that representation from as many parish organisations or parish residents as are permitted by the constitution are included.
The trustees meet four times a year in the hall and discuss administration and operation of the hall, they also appoint a General Purposes Committee that meets about once a month to deal with day to day matters.
