Join us for delicious cakes and good company at Café Burtle!
This month is a bit special ⭐ as we will be welcoming Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance 🚁, who will be running drop-in CPR and defibrillator training ❤️🩹 throughout the morning. These sessions will take place in the meeting room 🏫, so they won’t disturb the usual chatter in the main hall 💬.
We are delighted to invite people from the Polden area 📍 to come along and try out these important, life-saving skills 🙌 — especially valuable for those of us living in rural communities 🌾.
As always, our usual selection of hot drinks ☕, homemade cakes 🍰, cheese scones 🧀 and bacon baps 🥓 will be available.

🎺 Burtle Silver Band
📍 Burtle Village Hall
The Burtle Silver Band is one of Somerset’s longest-running silver bands, we are a friendly local brass band with a love of music. Over the years, the Band’s reputation has become known over a wide area, playing at a variety of events including Whit Walks, Harvest Homes, Flower Shows, Fêtes, and Steam Rallies to name a few. One priority has always been a willingness to assist in fundraising for local charities.
🎶 All players are welcome!
Burtle Silver Band has retained its original image as a village band. Players of any age, background, and ability are always welcome to join and we invite you to enquire, regardless of your playing level. Total beginners and children welcome to have a go!
