The Village Hall hosts a range of activities. the W.I. and the Cricket Club are the two most active.
The WI
The W.I. in Huish Champflower is very active and has been holding meetings since 24th April 1947, marking it’s 70th Anniversary in 2017. A brithday party to celebrate this milestone was held in the Village Hall with 74 guests including some from other local WI’s and county executive.
Huish Champflower WI are very friendly and love to have visitors at their meetings. They always encourage prospective new members to try them out first by attending a few meetings to see how they like it.
The meetings usually take the format of business first followed by an invited speaker who will give an interesting talk and demonstration on a specific craft or hobby. Where possible, members are given the opportunity to try out the different techniques for themselves and upon completion tea and refreshments are provided.
As a relatively small WI members like to join social events with other local WI’s and the County run programme of events. Once a year the village WI have an opportunity to send a member to the National AGM which is held in different parts of the country.
The village WI meetings are held at Huish Champflower Village Hall as follows:

Currently the WI are engaged in fund raising for the new Village Hall project. To date they have raised £1020.00 by holding a Soup Lunch once a month. It is a very social occasion and everyone is welcome. It is so successful that people from Wiveliscombe and outlying villages have been attending on a regular basis. They hope to raise a similar amount this year, so please come along and enjoy a great community lunch.
