Buckland Dinham Village Hall

Hall seating up to 80 people, fully fitted kitchen, bluetooth soundsystem, free wifi. enclosed garden Our village hall was built at the sole expense of the Rev.
(4)

Henry Clutterbuck in 1882. Originally designed as a Coffee House and Reading Rooms, the hall was split into two parts: a private dwelling place for the manager and his family, and a public area consisting of the coffee room and a spacious room for readings and for “entertainments”. The Church Hall (as it was known at that time) was enlarged by public subscription in 1924 with an extension to the

reading room which gave the building a room large enough to support amateur dramatics in the village. The hall has been owned by various groups since it was built: originally gifted to Russell Duckworth to create a recreational place for the village, the Duckworth family gifted it to the Diocese of Bath and Wells in 1915. In 1978, a few years after the last live in manager retired, the “Trustee Ownership” was transferred to the Parish Council, and in 1981 it was transferred to the Charity Commission. Although the Village Hall played a very important part in the social life of Buckland Dinham for more than a century, and was the venue for many of the important celebrations of the 20th Century, by the 1980’s it was in a very poor state of repair, and matters came to a head when a meeting was called to discuss the fate of the hall. After many ideas were discussed (including selling the hall and building a brand new one elsewhere) it was decided that a committee be set up to oversee firstly the renovation and refurbishment, and then the maintenance of the hall, and the hall was effectively saved. Buckland Dinham Village Hall is now put to more varied use than it was originally intended for - no longer simply a coffee house and reading rooms, it is now the regular venue for short mat bowls, the WI and a monthly luncheon group, in addition to private hire by members of the public - but it still fulfils the original role intended by the Rev Clutterbuck as a place open to all the residents of the village. The Buckland Dinham Village Hall Management Committee has organised many events in the past to raise the profile of the hall and to generate funds for the maintenance and ongoing improvements. These have included Barn Dances, Quiz Evenings, Story Telling, Dinner Dances, and a great variety of musical concerts ranging from Trad Jazz to Appalachian clog dancing. A very well equipped and spacious hall which can be hired for any event at a rate of £9.50 per hour. We offer special rates for longterm, whole weekend or wedding hire. There are also two smaller upstairs rooms for hire at £5 each per hour. perfect for meetings. The hall also has a fully enclosed gardens with far stretching views. Perfect for outdoor events, marquees and bouncy castles!! full kitchen facilities and a full stage is included at no extra cost! Contact Susie Hicks Tel: 01373 485099 or email: [email protected]

We're thrilled to announce that we have received funding from the Climate Action Fund for this year!

The funds will allow us to not only continue with our monthly Sprouts sessions Frome Library, but expand to include other community activities that have health and climate at their heart, details of which we'll share in the coming months.

This was only possible because of a partnership programme of .medical.practice and
who were successful in their Climate Action Fund bid 💚

They secured just under £1.7 million to use over the next 3 years to expand and deliver a number of pioneering projects which promote people’s health and wellbeing, whilst also reducing carbon emissions.

Our sincerest thanks to everyone involved in putting together the bid, particularly Sue Palmer
who had to contend with rogue snails when helping us with our proposal. It never ceases to amaze just how much wildlife is inadvertenty donated alongside the seed. Frome Seed Library Petting Zoo for 2024? 🤔
