Buckland Newton Village Hall (Charity No. 282290)
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 Parish Field / 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
whole day. The Hall is a No Smoking area.
The Main Hall
The Main Hall measures approximately 11.5 metres by 8.5 metres (37 feet by 27 feet). There is a
6 metre by 3 metre (20' x 10') Stage, equipped with a lighting bar and sound system. 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.
The Main Hall will accommodate approximately 130 people seated in auditorium style, or a
maximum of 100 seated at tables.
The Kitchen is fully equipped with oven and hob, refrigerator and microwave and adjoins the
Main Hall via a shutter and serving area.
The Committee Room
For smaller meetings, the Committee Room (measuring 6 metres by 3.5 metres - 20' x 11') will
accommodate 20 people. This part of the Hall has just been refurbished to a very high standard
and is perfect for smaller meetings or events. There is direct access to the kitchen.
