About Us

Wootton and Bashley Club, formerly known as Wootton and Bashley Working Men's Social Club, is a friendly community hub located in the heart of the New Forest. Founded in 1921 by local working men, the club has evolved into a modern venue that hosts regular events and offers affordable leisure facilities for residents and visitors alike.

Family & Pet Policies

Children are very welcome but must be supervised by an adult. For their safety, they are not to run around inside, access the snooker area or jump or climb on the stage. Highchairs are available and we will soon be installing a baby-changing station.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome but must be kept on a lead at all times. Free dog treats and water bowls are available at the bar.


Governance

The club is managed by a completely voluntary committee that took over in 2023. They are steadily refurbishing the venue and hosting regular events to support the local communities of Wootton, Bashley, Tiptoe and the surrounding areas.
