Village Hall 

Buckland Newton Village Hall

Redesigned in 2000 and rebuilt to a high standard, Buckland Newton's Village Hall is the ideal

venue for your group's meetings, functions or shows. It's also the perfect surroundings for private

parties, wedding receptions or birthday celebrations.

The Village Hall is adjacent to the Piddletrenthide to Sturminster Newton road (B3143) and

has car parking.  Postcode DT2 7BZ, Grid Reference ST 69363 05198.  The Village Hall is

approximately 150 yards south (towards Dorchester) of the recreation ground / primary

school crossroads, and 200 yards north (towards Pulham and Sturminster Newton) of the

Old Chapel Stores.

The main hall is light and spacious with large areas of glass in both roof and south-facing

elevations, giving a very pleasant and well-lit environment. In fine weather double doors can be

opened onto the attractive sheltered and covered patio.

The provision of both overhead and adjustable wall lighting provides the ideal ambience for all

occasions. There is a well-proportioned stage, with lighting and a sound system may be

available for hire. The main hall also has a sprung maple floor, making it ideal for dances and

keep-fit.

The Hall comprises the Main Hall, a Committee Room, Kitchen and Toilets (including disabled

access). The Main Hall and the Committee Room may be hired separately or as a whole.

All heating costs are included in the hire charges. The Hall may be hired by the session or for a

cloakroom/bar area at the back of the hall can be separated from the main hall by a roller

shutter. The lighting may be dimmed as required and the rooflights are fitted with roller blinds.
