Potterne School Building

Gaining ownership of the premises was the first and most important stage of this project. We finally completed the property purchase  in March 2025.

Fundraising has  been very promising to date, but there will be a constant requirement to support the project in future years. Currently we are campaigning to raise sufficient working capital to cover the refurbishment of the building and open the venue for public use.

You can keep up to date with our progress on Facebook and through our news pages.

"I am  delighted  by the plans to convert the former Potterne school into a thriving hub to benefit the village and wider community. I wish The Patch in Potterne every success and look forward to seeing it in action."

Dr Brian Mathew, MP for Melksham and Devizes
