Parkide Hall is the local community hall serving Ampthill and Mid Bedfordshire.
It is a charity run by a voluntary management committee for the benefit of the local community.
The hall was built in 1965 and was a great achievement at the time as Ampthill had been waiting for a public hall since 1858!
Parkside is used virtually every day. An average of 400-500 people use the hall per week. Some of them are:
Dance groups (salsa, tea dances, line dancing)
Jazzercise
Karate
Dramatic Society productions
W.I.
Dog shows
R.A.T.S.
Antique Fairs
Hospital sessions (therapy, Carers, dental)
Blood donors
