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.)

Cricket Club Practice in the Playing Field
The Batcombe Cricket Club will be using the cricket net in the Playing Field for practice ahead of the cricket season with the permission of the Parish Council. The practices will held from 6.00pm to 7.30pm on Mondays 13th, 20th and 27th April. Anyone wishing to get involved with the Cricket Club is welcome to come along.
Parents should be aware that the practice will involve the use of hard cricket balls and there will be warning signs so children should be kept away from the immediate vicinity of the cricket net and from the area in front of the open end of the net. The area around the children's play equipment should be perfectly safe for children to use - so children are not excluded from the Playing Field during the practice sessions, provided the warnings are heeded. As always, parents are responsible for supervising their children when in the Playing Field.
