To celebrate the centenary of Trumpington Village Hall in October 2008, the Trumpington Local History Group and the Trustees of the Hall organised an exhibition about the history and use of the hall. The 11 panels about the history of the hall were based on research undertaken by members of the Group, drawing on material in the Village Hall archives and held by local families. The research is presented in a series of pages corresponding to the panels:
