village hall
Town meeting place
A village hall is a public building in a small community used for local meetings, events, and gatherings.
Common in British villages, it serves as a center for activities like parish council meetings, wedding receptions, craft fairs, and amateur dramatics: The jumble sale will be held at the village hall on Saturday.
Americans might call it a community center.
