North Wootton Village Hall is in the heart of this small Somerset village.
Originally built as a Church Room, and opened in 1906, it was leased to the village in 1963, and since then has been run by a committee who raise funds to maintain it and organising many village events, such as, quiz evenings, talks, Harvest Home lunch and competitions, Easter egg hunts, Christmas gatherings and New Year bonfire and fireworks. These events encourage a strong community spirit in the village.
The Hall provides space too for the church to offer refreshments, children’s messy church, and other events organised throughout the year. A venue for the weekly village café, for a toddlers group and a Home schooling group add to the important role the Hall plays in village life. Individual hirers bring a myriad of different events, from children’s parties, band practice, dance groups, meditation, wedding receptions and more. With hire fees from individual and group activities, funds raised from the village events, generous donations and the generosity of grants for specific work, the Hall is well maintained and an important hub to the village.
In 2000, as part of the millennium campaign to establish new village greens, part of an orchard opposite the Hall was donated as a Village Green. This is maintained by volunteers, and is a beautiful space with cider apple trees; a space to just sit and enjoy beautiful views, with some open space to play games and for events too. It is open to all, and is a great venue for the New Year bonfire and fireworks and the annual Harvest Home event, and has hosted village weddings and parties too.
We are privileged to have a village hall and thank all the volunteers over the last 60 years for their dedication in maintaining a Hall for everyone’s benefit.
North Wootton is easily accessible from the surrounding towns and villages, and has a car park for visitors. The village supports a hotel, the Crossways, with a public bar and restaurant.
