The Parish Hall
Pencombe & Little Cowarne Parish Hall is a charitable community facility available to the public, specifically for the benefit of all residents of Pencombe and Little Cowarne. The hall is intended as the hub for general use by the local community and to assist with their fundraising activities and events.
The hall is also available for hire by individuals and organisations from outside the Civil Parish.
A900mb Broadband service is supplied by Gigaclear through their community hub initiative making this hall very attractive for events such as business meetings and presentations, and cinema screenings.
A license for the sale of alcohol is held by the management committee for community events.
Private Hire events will need to obtain a sale of alcohol license.
Operated by a charity, the hall is one of the largest in the area and offers the community access to excellent social facilities for events and services. In this, we are pleased to recognise the support of our funders, suppliers, partners, local organisations and individual residents.
