The Court Room, which housed a real ecclesiastical court in centuries gone by, now serves as Staverton’s Village Hall. It is a popular venue for parties, keep-fit classes, dances and other social events. It has a large main hall and a fully equipped kitchen. There is access for people with mobility problems, but due to the age and site of the building, it is not unfortunately currently able to be accessed by wheelchairs.  The Court Room can be hired for one-off or regular events.

The Court Room is owned by the Staverton Parish Council but is run by a Management Committee on behalf of the community.

The George Clake Pavilion and Playing Field are located on the road into Staverton about a quarter of a mile from the station.  It is the venue for the Garden Show and the Elizabethan Fayre. Is is home to the Staverton and Landscove Football Club, who run two teams during the football season and is also used as the sports ground for St Christopher’s Prep School. There is also a Children’s Playground on the site which is popular with local children.

The Pavilion and Playing Field are also owned by the Parish Council but are run by the same Management Committee which is responsible for the Court Room. Originally, there was just a wooden hut on the site, but in the early 1990’s the whole village community worked together to raise £6,000 to build the new Pavilion and together with funding from the Lottery Sports Fund, the Foundation for Arts and Sport and South Hams District Council, a new Pavilion was built. The new building was opened in 1996. It is named after George Clake, who lived in the village all his life and was a much-loved local character.

The Pavilion has full disabled access, kitchen and toilet facilities, changing rooms and ample parking. There is a good-sized meeting/social room and the Pavilion and/or the field can be hired for parties, meetings and other events. It is in a beautiful setting and makes a lovely venue for weddings and is great for children's parties, with the playground right on the doorstep!
