Opened on 31st May 1952, America Hall, Pinhoe’s Community Centre, was built with funds donated by the families and friends of American Service persons who were stationed here during the Second World.
The American families and friends gave money to the people of Devon living in this area in grateful thanks for the hospitality they bestowed upon their loved ones during one of the most difficult periods in modern history.
The links with America lives on largely in name only these days but there are still many Pinhoe folk who remember when, where and how it all happened.
America Hall is regularly used for Maranatha Church, Art, Embroidery, Martial Arts, Yoga Classes, DanceTW Exeter, Line Dancing, Tea Dances, Guild of Weavers, Stamp and Coin fayres, Pantomimes, fetes, parties, & weddings.
The large raised stage has been used to accommodate many different types of musical events on one occasion the famous international rock band ‘Motorhead’ in 1985 and BBC's Any Questions was broadcast live from the hall in 1997.
Adjacent and connected to America Hall, the Sunnylands Room can be used in conjunction with or as a separate venue from the main hall. Officially opened on the 1st April 2000.
