The hall was built in 2005/6 and extended in 2015, to exacting standards. It is situated on the edge of Llanfoist and has outstanding views.
Adjacent facilities, managed by Llanfoist Fawr Community Council, consist of a football pitch, a multi-use all weather games area (MUGA), a boules court, and a children’s play area.
There is adequate parking for the village hall but also an ‘overflow’ car park at the top of the hall car park, through the gate.
