Welcome to the Horspath Hub in the Old Chapel
An ideal venue with access and a toilet for people with a disability.
Horspath is a lovely village six miles south of Oxford and the Hub overlooks the village green.
Please note that the Horspath Hub is NOT the same venue as the Horspath Village Hall.

Hub Tenth Anniversary Party
SAVE THE DATE!!!
SATURDAY 23rd OF MARCH, 2024
FOR
THE HUB'S TENTH ANNIVERSARY PARTY

A photograph of the opening ceremony for the Wesleyan Chapel, February 3rd., 1910.
Built at a cost of £400, the Chapel replaced an earlier building a few yards further along Oxford Road, which had opened as a Chapel in 1871.
This 1910 Chapel was to last 99 years as a place of Methodist worship, and is now the Horspath Hub.
Over 50 people attended this ceremony, testament to the strength of Methodism in Horspath at this time.
[Horspath Scrapbook]
The second opening of the Methodist Chapel was on June 7th, 2014, when the Methodist Chapel became known as
the Horspath Hub at the Old Chapel.
The Tenth Anniversary Party will be in 2024
