A Brief History
Tilstock Bradbury Village Hall opened in September 2007.
The previous Village Hall was on a different site, in a building that formerly housed the local National School, erected in 1834. 100 years later, in 1934 the building became the Parish Rooms and was registered as a Charity in 1935.
For the next 70 years, the Parish Rooms were used by many groups and organisations, such as Tilstock W.I., Tilstock Football Club, the Youth Club, Young Farmers, Senior Citizens’ Club, and Tilstock Bowling and Tennis Club. Dances, whist drives, concert parties and cinema shows were all popular. In 1982 the Parish Rooms were re-named “Tilstock Village Hall”.
In 1999, the Village Hall committee decided that the current Village Hall was unfit for purpose. Amongst other problems, disabled access was poor, there was parking on site for only two vehicles, and the hall was sited on a busy road junction with poor visibility for people crossing the road to the hall.
Over the next eight years, the committee raised funds with a busy and varied programme of events: Garden Trails, Quiz Nights, Folk Nights, etc. These were well-supported by the local community.
Funding was also obtained from a consortium of local businessmen and from the Whitchurch Market Towns Programme, Leader Plus, the Veolia Environmental Trust, Whitchurch Rural Parish Council, the Charles Hayward Foundation, the Garfield Weston Foundation and the Bradbury Foundation. This last grant completed the funding required, and as part of the conditions attached to this grant the new building was named Tilstock Bradbury Village Hall. The former Hall was sold and is now a private house.

£5 + P&P - all proceeds go to the Village Hall.
Tilstock Bradbury Village Hall committee would like to express their grateful thanks to the Whitchurch Rural Parish Council (WRPC) for all their financial support. This financial assistance has enabled the committee to improve the audio visual facilities in the hall, install security CCTV, replace fencing and improve access to the rear of the hall. In addition, the WRPC has also supported the installation of solar batteries to supplement the existing Solar Photo-Voltaic panels, thus further reducing the energy consumption of the village hall and reducing its carbon footprint.
