Community Groups & Societies

It’s the perfect place to catch up with friends and neighbours over a cup of tea or coffee, with a biscuit or a slice of cake — all for a minimum donation of £2.00. The atmosphere is always lively, friendly, and welcoming.

This is one of our most popular regular events, and everyone is warmly invited to come along and be part of it.

Experience big‑screen entertainment right on your doorstep! With our impressive 4‑metre screen and powerful 7000‑lumen projector, the Pencombe and Little Cowarne Community Cinema now offers a truly immersive cinema experience without the need to travel.

Join us on the third Thursday of every month for a carefully chosen film that aims to delight a wide range of tastes. It’s a great opportunity to enjoy a night out, relax with friends and neighbours, and discover something new on screen.

We’d love you to join us for an enjoyable evening of film in great company.

We’re also proud to be a venue for the Borderlines Film Festival.

Details of our latest screenings are shared on Facebook, so do keep an eye out for updates.

Our Parish Book Group meets in the Parish Hall committee room on the last Thursday of the month from 6pm – 7pm.  It’s a relaxed hour where we chat about the month’s chosen book over a cup of tea or coffee and a biscuit.

There is a small £1.00 contribution to cover refreshments.

If you would like to join us, you’re welcome to come along.  For more information, you can contact  Anne Pedder on 01885 400314 or email her at: annepedder@hotmail.com.

The Pencombe and Little Cowarne Wine Society launched in September 2021 with a memorable tasting of Majestic’s Definition range, led by Ben from the Hereford store — a fantastic evening that set the tone for what has become a thriving, enthusiastic group.

Since then, we’ve grown into a friendly community of wine‑lovers keen to explore bottles from across the world. We hold five themed, tutored tastings each year, offering members the chance to discover new favourites and deepen their knowledge in a relaxed, enjoyable setting.

We’re pleased to keep the meeting price at £15.00 per person for as long as possible. Each evening also includes a raffle for a quality bottle linked to the theme — tickets are £1 each or £5 for a strip.

Advance booking is essential to help us plan the tastings.

If there’s a wine region, grape variety, or theme you’d love us to explore in a future session, we’d be delighted to hear your ideas.

The Pencombe and Little Cowarne Women’s Institute meets at the Parish Hall on the third Tuesday of each month at 7:30pm, and we’d be delighted to welcome you.

Originally founded in 1924, our WI has a long and proud history. After a pause during and after the world wars, it was re‑established in 1971 and has been meeting continuously ever since — celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2021. Today, we’re a friendly group of 19 members, each bringing different interests, experiences, and stories.

Whether you’ve lived locally for years or have recently moved to the area, the WI is a wonderful way to meet new people, build friendships, and get involved in a supportive, welcoming community.

Why not come along one evening and see what we’re all about?

Each meeting begins with a short business section, followed by a talk, activity, discussion, or social event. We round off the evening with a cup of tea and a chat, usually finishing around 9:30pm. Take a look at our programme to discover the variety of speakers, activities, and summer outings we enjoy.

There’s no pressure to join straight away — visitors are always welcome. However, membership comes with great benefits, including reduced meeting fees, a monthly magazine, and access to a wide range of County and National WI activities, from craft and cookery workshops to social campaigns and online events.

Kick off the weekend at your friendly local Pub Night! Join friends, neighbours, and new faces for a relaxed Friday evening filled with good company, great conversation, and a warm community atmosphere. It’s the perfect place to unwind and make new memories.

If you’re interested in getting involved and helping to run the bar, we’d love to hear from you. Just call 07921 584045 for more information.

Come along and be part of a brilliant village tradition.
