Hamilton Davies House Community Facilities

The Trust is based at Hamilton Davies House, which is centrally located within the communities we support. Formerly an unoccupied public house, this historic building has been restored and brought back into the heart of the community. The building now provides a welcome venue for community groups to meet and visit the Trust.

The facilities available include a small meeting room suitable for 6- 8 people, a comfortable lounge area ideal for displays and open events, and a larger meeting / training room which can accomodate group events and larger meetings. The facility benefits from a large car park and a welcoming reception area. These facilities are occasionally available for use by community groups on a pre-booked basis. For information on booking these facilities please contact the Trust.
