The Great Oakley Village Hall is a relatively new building within the history of Great Oakley. Opened in 2011 by then Mayor of Corby, Councillor Gail McDade, the hall sits on the land of Great Oakley Estates that was provided by Alexander de Capell Brooke, alongside the Great Oakley Cricket Club. Support in funding the project came from Northamptonshire County Council, Corby Borough Council and WREN (a not-for-profit business that awards grants for community projects).

The Great Oakley Village Institute charity manages the hall, with valuable support from a board of volunteer trustees. The hall itself is run entirely by volunteers, which is a testament to the community spirit within Great Oakley. Events range from Zumba and yoga classes to ballroom dancing, bowls and Women’s Institute committee meetings. Please visit the hall website for more information – http://www.govillagehall.org.uk/
