History of the hall: Captain Wafer hall was named after Captain Thomas Wafer, a local leader of the 1916 Irish Rebellion. It is located at the base of the 1798 Vinegar Hill battle site. The hall came into being over 70yrs ago when a group of locals had a vision of a place where people could gather - a community hub. It held social events and was themeeting place for various clubs and groups. According to Paddy Wildes, Chairperson of Captain Wafer Hall committee, the locals referred to it as “The Hut”. The building has been empty for over 2 years and has not been used as community space for over 15 years. The ECA wish to carry on the legacy of the hall by reimagining the space to meet the needs of a modern day community and by naming it “The Hut” after those dedicated people who originally saw the need for this space for the people of Enniscorthy.
