Blunham Parish Hall was built in 1929, it is now called Blunham Village Hall. The hall is run by a management committee. During 1997 and 1999 a lot of money was spent bringing the hall up to date. The hall received grants which allowed the kitchen to be modernised in 1997. In 1999 Mid Beds and the Parish Council gave grants and the hall had double glazed windows fitted throughout. The meeting room at the back of the hall was re-roofed, carpets were laid and heating put in, it was then re-decorated. The main hall was also re-decorated.
In 2001 after much fund raising, a £5000 lottery grant, a £3000 Mid Beds grant and a £2000 donation from Lloyds TSB, new ladies and gents tiolets and a disabled tiolet were fitted in the hall. After the modernisation of the tiolets the rooms were then all redecorated.
Several times a year the committe organise a lunch as a fund raising project.
