Newly built and contemporary, our venue is set in Wiltshire countryside. With competitive hiring rates, it's a great alternative to expensive hotels.
(9)
Our newly built, contemporary venue, is set in the Wiltshire village of Broad Hinton, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. We serve the communities of Broad Hinton, Uffcott & Winterbourne Bassett, If you'd like to keep up to date with what's going on in the three villages, like our page and sign up to our monthly newsletter by emailing [email protected]. We also hire the venue to
people from a wider area; with competitive hiring rates, it’s a great alternative to a hotel. Within easy reach of Swindon and M4 junctions 15 & 16, we’ve hosted a number of weddings and parties, all of which have looked incredible. The venue has a large main hall which holds 150 theatre style and over 100 seated diners. Also in the main hall there’s a stage and dressing room. In addition, there’s a separate meeting room which seats around 30 café style and is really great for using as a quiet area, separate from the main hall. Finally there’s a well-equipped, modern kitchen and bar. Come along and view any time, just get in touch with us and we’ll be happy to show you around.

4 weeks to go to the first Hackpen Beer Festival!!!
As well as beer and fizz, there’ll be an interesting, carefully selected range of gin for you to try. Here’s a flavour of what’s planed:
* Four - five London dry gins
* Some of a more modern style, like Opihr
* A navy strength
* A Plymouth, made from slightly sweeter botanicals and soft Dartmoor water
* An Old Tom, again, very slightly sweetened style of gin, popular in the 19th century now undergoing a renaissance.
* A Dutch Genever; Genever is Dutch for “juniper.” Tastes malty (similar to a light Scotch) with subtle undernotes of herbs and spices
* And for those who like them, some flavoured gins.
We’ll also have an interesting range of garnishes, as suggested by Ginventory (a great gin app for those of you who don’t know it).
With a choice of tonics supplied by Fever Tree.
We’ve got two bands playing throughout the day…
Black Dog Acoustic are our band for the afternoon. We’ll have a restful time listening to beautiful music, while you chat about beer and gin! They’ll be playing from 4pm until 6pm.
My Beloved Monster are our band for the evening – might be a little bit noisier! They’ll play from 8pm until 11pm when the Festival ends.
Get your tickets from https://broadhinton.org.uk/beerfest/ or contact Sarah Kromer at [email protected] or 07885 519221.

We got through the panic of the flood, the heartbreak of clearing up, the complexity of the insurance claim and the expense of the new drainage. We now have a beautiful new BHVH floor. Here’s some before and after pics. Chris O’Neill has supported us throughout and, in addition to the work of BHVH trustees, has been instrumental in bringing all this about. Thank you Chris. BHVH is now open for business.

Kitchen Update
Our re-organisation of the kitchen is complete. We’ve heard some criticism that this wasn’t the right place for the ovens. Our aim was to provide a cost-effective solution which looks great and functions well. To achieve this, we had to cause minimal disruption to the existing kitchen, so this was the right place for the ovens. BHVH is now equipped with extremely useful oven facilities, for both hirers and caterers. We hope you enjoy using the kitchen. Thanks to Rich Smith, who sourced all the appliances and cabinets and installed everything at a very reasonable price.

New Projector Screen
In a triumph for health & safety, we have ditched the old projector screen, which was really very hungry for fingers. We now have a new portable screen, which is easy to carry and put up. Its home is the locked part of the storeroom, so if you’d like to use it in the main hall for your hiring, please let us know when you book. [email protected]

Sadly, we’ve just had a resignation. Andy McCombe has achieved so much during his time as trustee. Amongst other things, he has taken care of our secure document provision, contributed to our new hiring process and has been instrumental in the work on our electronic booking system. Even though he’s no longer a trustee, Andy will continue with the bookings system until it’s up and running. Thank you for everything you’ve done Andy.

Conditions of Hiring BHVH
Last month we told you about changes to our hiring fees in the light of increased costs. It’s also worth reminding everyone about three specific conditions of hiring BHVH:
1. Refundable Deposit
2. Hire End Times
3. Security Lock-up
Refundable Deposit
Since a couple of years or so ago, we have experienced issues with hirings which either caused damage to the hall and/or disturbance to the community through inconsiderate parking or noise. We therefore needed to mitigate this risk, so well over a year ago, we introduced a refundable deposit. This has been in place for some time.
We realise that the risk for hirings from people who live in the three villages in our community is far less than for those who don’t. Hence the refundable deposit for external hirings is £750, for local people who live in the community, we request a much lower deposit of £250.
Given there is already a concession for local people, please don’t ask us for further concessions, since we treat every booking equally. The refundable deposit is only required 28 days before the hiring date and, providing there are no problems, is refunded seven days after the hiring date.
Hire End Times
To help with nuisance to the community, we have also changed the times at which certain activity must cease and when BHVH must be vacated. These are as follows:
Day Available from Music/performance/Alcohol to finish by Premises must be vacated by
Monday – Thursday
8:00am 10:00pm 11:00pm
Friday & Saturday 11:00pm Midnight
Sunday 9:00pm 10:00pm
Security Lock-up
Some of the problems with the hirings mentioned earlier, have been with hirers leaving BHVH later than their hiring end time. Given that all trustees who keep BHVH open, do so on a voluntary basis, we don’t believe it is appropriate to ask trustees to take this responsibility. So we have recently introduced the use of a security firm to ensure BHVH is vacated at the correct time, and to lock up. The firm we use is called Will Secure and they were recommended by Royal Wootton Bassett Rugby Club, who use them in a similar way. The current cost for the lock-up service is £42 incl. VAT. The hirer is responsible for paying this cost, and again, it is due 28 days before the hiring date.

Planned events
https://broadhinton.org.uk/news-events/planned-events/
As you can see from the financial information we shared recently, in our last financial year, we effectively broke even. That’s why we put so much effort into fundraising events, we’d like to give everyone a great time whilst raising money to keep BHVH open for you. During February, we've been planning for this year – we’ve got a packed schedule, so please support us by attending events as often as you can.As
