WELCOME TO MAULDS MEABURN VILLAGE INSTITUTE
Community Events and Gatherings

MMVI is a modern village hall with rooms for hire and a bumper programme of events for the whole community. We’re right in the heart of Maulds Meaburn, one of Cumbria’s prettiest villages, and we’re also at the heart of the community. From coffee mornings to curry nights, we run events that bring people together – young and old, villagers and visitors. We’re also a well-equipped venue to hire for your own events, from weddings to fitness classes.
