Seend Community Centre started out as Seend Social Club, largely funded and built by the villagers themselves in the 1970s. Prior to that, an old army hut had served as Seend Working Men’s Club on the same site. In 2005 the Social Club was amalgamated with the Seend Trust and reborn as Seend Community Centre, with charitable status. The lounge bar area serves as Seend Club – a membership organisation.

The main hall of the Centre is the venue for many community activities, such as an annual beer festival, village pantomime, annual flower show on fete day, and village breakfasts on summer Saturdays. The hall is also used by Melksham and Devizes Skittles Leagues, a short mat bowls club, keep fit classes and table-tennis players. It also hosts a variety of social events, concerts, dances and exhibitions.
