Forncett Village Hall (the former Forncett St Mary School) has served as the main social hub of the group of communities commonly known as ‘The Forncetts’ for over 60 years. With housing concentrated in the three main ‘centres’ of Forncett St Peter, Forncett St Mary and Forncett End and spread throughout the whole area of the parish, the Village Hall satisfies the need for a meeting place for a wide range of activities including bowls, yoga, garden club, art group, line dancing, playgroup and patchwork. The Hall is also the venue for Parish Council meetings, fund raising events for the Village Hall funds and other ‘good causes’, and private parties for children and adults.

Adjacent to the Hall is ‘Jubilee Green’ – the site of the former village allotments – which is the setting for the annual village Fete and occasional other outdoor events.

Please note that the Village Hall is on Low Road, Forncett St Mary, just opposite the War Memorial, not far from the junction with Cheneys Lane. Sat Nav NR16 1JG is usually quite accurate.
