About The Bennett Centre:

Founded in 1854, by William James Early Bennett, the Vicar of Frome, The Bennett Centre started life as an infant school, which in time became the Church Hall and today provides a community space for those in Frome and its surrounding areas. Its is used regularly by wide variety of groups, providing for all ages including exercise classes, educational workshops, concerts, children groups and much more.

The aim is to now complete the building project, creating a separate entrance to the Cloisters which would also provide disabled access, the creation of an exterior garden space and new doors and windows at ground level and an internal lift to enable access for all throughout the whole building. The end result will be a Centre with four potential rooms to hire based in the centre of Frome.
