DRIMPTON VILLAGE HALL AND RECREATIONAL TRUST
The Village Hall is a central part of the life in Drimpton. Many groups and activities take place, some of which are detailed on this website. Broadly, activities include Theatre, Dance, Shows, Craft Fairs, Drimpton Football Club, Societies and Clubs. There is a weekly Food Share where donated food from local suppliers is shared.
There is a free to use fenced off play area for younger ones, a basketball hoop and an outdoor activity area for older children, together with a large recreation area used for Drimpton Football Club and larger village events. Available for hire for private events, the hall has a large well stocked kitchen. Tables and all crockery and cutlery is available and the premises holds licence for the sale of alcohol.
Please note that the car park is private and reserved for hall and grounds users and permitted vehicles only. Dogs are not permitted on the grounds.
The Trust survives on income generated from events, donations, funding and hiring fees. Managed by a small annually elected committee of volunteers from the village, responsible for funding, running and maintaining the premises team is assisted by village volunteers who pitch in with maintenance tasks and helping out on big events. Very welcoming, it is a key place to meet and greet others and find like minded people. It is considered essential to the mental and physical health of all. You will not feel alone in the Village Hall!
🌿 Spring Spruce-Up at the Village Hall– Can You Help? 🌿
With summer just around the corner, it’s time to give our Village Hall grounds a little love – and we’d really appreciate your help! We’re looking for a few friendly volunteers to join us for a couple of simple but important outdoor jobs:
A quick fix-up for the bench - Treating the sheds to some much-needed wood care
All materials will be provided – we just need your time and energy!
📅 Saturday 24th May - 🕙 From 10am -📍 Drimpton Village Hall Grounds
Even if you can only spare an hour, it’ll make a huge difference. The village hall runs on volunteer power, and this is a great chance to chip in, get outdoors, and enjoy a cuppa with your neighbours, you may need to bring a flask. Please let us know if you can come by emailing: 📧 villagehalldrimpton@gmail.com
Many hands make light work – and every pair helps! 💪💚

It is time to start the weekly cutting of the grass in the Village Hall playground. We rely on a team of volunteers, the bigger the team, the less one has to do it. Last year we had 7 people and this meant cutting it only 3 times each for the season. It takes about an hour, there is a mower and training provided!
