After the original social centre was tragically destroyed in June 2021, the opening of the new Bromham Community Hub on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, marked a major milestone for the local community.

It was a truly royal occasion, and the village turned out in force to welcome Her Majesty.

Highlights of the Royal Opening

• The Unveiling: Queen Camilla officially opened the hub alongside the Chair of Trustees, Sue Wilkinson, unveiling a plaque to commemorate the day.

• A Personal Connection: The Queen has a home nearby in Lacock and has taken a personal interest in the project. She even donated a selection of plants to help with the landscaping.

• Special Presentations: During her visit, she was presented with a drawing of her rescue dog, Moley, by a local artist.

• A Day of Remembrance: In a touching moment, the Queen planted a tree in memory of Craig Dalby, a former Wiltshire police officer who had served on her protection team.

Rising from the Ashes

The journey from the 2021 fire to today is a testament to the village's resilience:

• Fundraising: The community raised significant funds through local events, alongside grants from the National Lottery and the government’s Levelling Up fund.

• The New Facility: The hub features a new café, high-speed fibre Wi-Fi, and flexible spaces for groups like the Bromham WI, the Monday Club and the Bromham Ladies.

• Community Core: Since opening its doors, it has already hosted everything from "Open Mic" nights to carnival quizes and bingo, officially putting the "heart" back into Bromham.
