Broad Chalke (pop 650) sits centrally in the Benefice and has a good mix of age-groups. There is a CofE maintained primary school, a sports centre, a village hall where WI, Flower Club, Film Night are each held once a month and Teddybears (for mums, babies and toddlers) once a week, and a pub – The Queen’s Head.

The jewel in our crown is The Hub – a shop (Chalke Valley Stores) and Coffee Shop, situated in the URC building. There are 7 working farms and several small businesses. The village also hosts the internationally famous Chalke Valley History Festival.
