The Village Hall, West Ashling (WAVH) is the home for our drama productions, rehearsals and auditions.
Please be aware that we still use the building referred to on the Village Hall website as ‘the existing hall’.
The full address is

 Funtington & District Village Hall, Southbrook Road, West Ashling, Chichester, West Sussex, PO18 8DN. 

Directions:

(a) from the north: on the B2146 / B2178 road between Funtington and East Ashling, opposite the
distinctive “Time Machine” building, take the road signed to Bosham, E. Ashling, B2146, Village Hall. 
Continue for half a mile. 

(b) from the south: there is no easy access from the A27 dual carriageway, which passes under Ratham Lane.
From the A259 roundabout at Bosham, take the B2146 north signed East Ashling, West Ashling, Funtington,
Station. At the level crossing for Bosham Station, the road name changes from Station Road to Ratham Road.
Pass over the A27 dual carriageway and turn left at the junction with Clay Lane, which becomes Southbrook
Road. The Hall is 1.5 miles from the A259 roundabout. 

The hall backs onto Heather Close. 

Our play readings are at the Church Rooms adjoining the parish church in Church Lane, off the main road
between Halliday’s Restaurant and Country Fare stores. It sounds easy to find, and you can park just outside,
but to avoid getting lost be sure to walk through the lychgate and turn right, and bring a torch.
