Wedmore Playing Fields Development Scheme

Completion on the purchase of the two fields adjoining the existing playing field on its western boundary was confirmed on the 16th March 2012. The Wedmore Playing Fields Management Committee (WPFMC) would formally like to take this opportunity to thank the Hole family for giving us the opportunity to purchase this land.
Benjamin & Beauchamp Architects were formally appointed by the WPFMC to develop a masterplan for the development of the site. The various clubs and groups that currently use the field were approached to establish their requirements and this information was factored into a series of masterplan options. At a final meeting on the 27.04.12 consensus was reached and an outline scheme was agreed upon. This scheme provides:

• 2 additional junior football pitches OR - COMPLETED AUGUST 2014
• 4 additional mini football pitches. - COMPLETED AUGUST 2014
