Babel Village Hall

Babel Hall is an important focal point for a rural community in an area of small hill farms where there are three chapels but no shop, public house, church or other public meeting place. The hall serves as a venue for whist drives, talks, St. David's Day cawl, local Eisteddfodau, Christmas parties, bingo nights, games nights, meetings and other activities associated with a community hall.
