Experience the warmth of our village hall in Glanvilles Wootton
We take pride in offering a welcoming, adaptable space that fosters community connections and memorable events, all rooted in the beautiful Dorset countryside.
Built for the three parishes of Glanvilles Wootton, Holnest and Middlemarsh in 1932, the village hall has become a central hub to all three communities for over 90 years, providing fond memories for many generations. Villagers have loved and enjoyed the hall; it is through their continuous dedication and fund raising, that the hall can continue to be a part of future generations to come.
