The Village Hall is situated on the eastern slopes of May Hill  in the centre of May Hill village, which is a quiet area amongst a small rural community.  It lies between Gloucester and Ross-on-Wye just off the A40 about two miles to the west of Huntley. 

The hall was constructed of local Forest stone in 1923 and subsequently donated to the community by a local landowner.  At the same time it became a registered Charity.   In 2006/07 over £210,000 has been spent in adding a new extension at the rear and upgrading all the facilities.
