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.)

The February film is Sing Sing (2023/106 mins/15). John “Divine G” Whitfield (Oscar-nominated Colman Domingo), is imprisoned in Sing Sing Maximum Security Prison for a crime he didn’t commit but finds purpose by acting in a theatre group alongside other prisoners, including a wary newcomer. With an ensemble supporting cast of formerly incarcerated actors and based on the real-life Rehabilitation Through the Arts programme (which brings dance, theatre, music and writing workshops to prisons and has been successful in reducing reoffending), this is an inspirational celebration of resilience and the redemptive power of art and presents a very different view of prison life. BBFC Insight: strong language.
