Welcome to the Batcombe Parish Council Website
The Parish Council's website is continually being developed and will gradually provide more information about the parish of Batcombe, local organisations, news and events - as well as those documents the Parish Council is required to publish.
BATCOMBE is a parish in the east of Somerset between Frome and Shepton Mallet, which consists of the villages of Batcombe and Westcombe together with a number of outlying hamlets and farmsteads. At the centre of the parish lies St Mary's Church with its magnificent 16th century tower, the Three Horseshoes pub, and a community centre consisting of the award-winning Jubilee Hall and the Old School Rooms. (To learn more about the Jubilee Hall and Old School Rooms click on the link to the Village Hall Trust website.)

Events in BATCOMBE
Time: 7.00 for 7.45pm
Venue: The Jubilee Hall, Batcombe
The January film is Sister Midnight (2024/107 mins/15), a very surreal, dark but entertaining comedy set in India about a woman fighting patriarchal norms. Newly arrived in Mumbai, living in a tiny shack with paper-thin walls, acerbic Uma and soft-spoken Gopal are trapped in an awkward arranged marriage. At first, Uma does her best to cope with the heat, her lack of domestic skills, her bumbling spouse and their nosy neighbours, but the nocturnal world of the city changes her and transformed into a disturbing and ruthless figure, Uma succumbs to her most feral impulses. A film of rich, lush colours and supported by a cracking soundtrack. BBFC Insight: very strong language, strong sex, injury detail (Hindi with subtitles plus English).
