Serving Goatacre Village (near Calne, Wiltshire), the Hall is the heart of the village, available for hire for weddings, parties or events, and hosting the village’s community activities, skittles, bingo and regular quiz nights.

Between the strikes of the pins and the calling of numbers, we offer an ideal spot for neighbours to socialise.

With room for up to 140 guests, Goatacre Village Hall features a fully stocked, licensed, staffed bar, well equipped kitchen and ample parking making it ideal for all occasions. We have everything you need for your event including tables, chairs, chair covers, glasses, fairy lights and more.

The main hall offers a versatile space that can be set up for highly formal weddings, hosting live music, quizz nights, training courses or any gathering. Host live music, entertain friends, or organise training events, the hall is ready to hire.

An indoor marquee lining is available to hire that transforms the hall into an events venue.
