The village first school, nursery, playing fields, cricket pitch, tennis club, and bowls club are all just around the corner along with the popular sports bar and function room - The Post and Wicket. The rest of the facilities that Wedmore offers are in the other direction, including various excellent local shops, cafes, Church, and three pubs, and a restaurant
Cheddar, Wells, Bristol (and Bristol Airport), Taunton and Bath are not far away for more extensive facilities, but people tend to find Wedmore ticks most of the boxes.
