A new village hall is set to open its doors to the public following the completion of a a £170,000 building project.

The village hall, in Acre Road, Cowling , near Keighley , will be open for bookings from the first week of November, ahead of its official opening later in the month. Facilities include a large room suitable for sports and functions, kitchen, two meeting rooms and a cafe area.

David Rowe, co-chairman of the village hall committee, said: “We're doing everything to a really good specification. It is a heck of a venue for a village hall.”
