Dunster Tithe Barn - Hiring

The Dunster Tithe Barn, which dates back to the early 16th Century when it formed part of a Benedictine Priory, was in 2006 transformed into a magnificent Community Centre for the village. Now considered to be one of the finest such facilities in West Somerset, the  Dunster Tithe Barn offers a Main Hall with seating at tables for up to 120 or without tables up to 200.

In addition there are two other rooms that can be hired either separately or in conjunction with the main hall.  Modern toilets, including disabled facilities, and a well-equipped kitchen are also provided.
