The Old School

OUR VISION

To convert The Old School, Potterne, into a multi-use space for community benefit

Gaining ownership of the old school building was a most important first stage of this project. After our offer to buy the premises was accepted, we completed the purchase in March 2025.

Fundraising has been very promising to date, but there will be a constant requirement to sustain the project in future years. Currently we are campaigning to raise enough 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 on this site's Latest News page.
