Seavington Village Store

The Seavington Village Store and Cafe opened on Wednesday 14th July 2010. This marks an important point in the development of our community and its amenities.

During 2005 the Seavington Parish Council undertook a comprehensive survey of village residents wishes for the development of the communities over the following ten years. The resulting Village Plan was published in December 2005 and highlighted the need for reinstatement of the village shop and post office.

During 2006 an ad-hoc committee, supported by the Plunkett Foundation conducted a detailed survey into peoples' shopping patterns and what they would want from a village shop.

This survey demonstrated, to Plunkett's satisfaction, that a community owned and run shop serving the Seavingtons would be viable. The committee then developed concepts for a shop and took them to a public meeting on 6th December 2006 where they were endorsed by the community.

The Seavington Community Shop and Services Association was formed and, with the help of a grant from the Somerset Rural Renaissance Project, became incorporated andgained planning permission.

Our new facility is now open;

Mon-Fri open 8:30-18:00, Sat open 9:00-15:00.

Sunday breakfast sessions once a month - call 01460 249730 for details of the next one.

We sell local meat, eggs, fruit and veg, fresh bread, local honey and cider. Our cafe serves excellent coffee, breakfasts, lunches (including homemade soup, paninis and local cakes) and afternoon teas. There is ample free parking, bike racks, a childrens play area nearby (we serve takeaway coffee too!) and our villages' Playing Field adjacent.

We're just three minutes from the A303 at Southfields roundabout.
