Shroton Village Hall
Our Village Hall, built nearly 175 years ago as the local school, now stands proudly on Main Street between St Mary’s Church and The Cricketers pub.
Just behind the Hall is one of the loveliest cricket grounds in England, while across the street lies The Glebe, a wide, green space ideal for football, fetes, and Pétanque matches where the players may be seasoned, but their aim is as sharp as ever.
Cricket Club
We are a small rural village club with a small rural village atmosphere. We always try to be friendly and welcoming.
We have been here for over a hundred years and enjoy playing at the foot of Hambledon Hill thanks to the generosity of Ranston Estate.
Our senior team plays in the Dorset League and we have several junior teams as well with junior coaching evenings on Fridays during school termtime.
