What we Offer

The Village Hall is the hub of the village and is used for many functions and events throughout the year including Pub Nights, BBQ’s, coffee mornings and the annual Flower Show and Fete and it is the perfect place for the whole village to get together to celebrate occasions.

The regular 'Pub Nights' throughout the year, usually on Friday between 6.30pm and 10pm, are very popular with a guest ale, other beers, lagers, wines and a dish of the night like pizza, casserole etc with veggie options as well. All welcome.

The hall is located adjacent to the Recreation Ground at the top of the village. It was originally built for the Women’s Institute on land leased from Ilchester Estates and first opened in 1922. In 1993 Ilchester Estates agreed a new 32 year lease that transferred the running of the hall to the Village Hall Management Committee for the purpose of providing a recreational facility for the residents of Melbury Osmond, Melbury Sampford and the surrounding area.
