Club Chronicles: Discover the Heart of The BFS Club

Nestled along the picturesque River Tavy in the heart of Bere Ferrers, West Devon, The Bere Ferrers Community Club—affectionately known as The BFS Club—is more than just a venue. It’s a vibrant hub where locals and visitors come together to connect, celebrate, and create lasting memories. Whether you’re a long-time resident or new to our charming village, our club offers something for everyone. Here’s why The BFS Club is the heartbeat of our community and how you can join the fun!

A Warm Welcome Awaits

Step through our doors, and you’ll find a warm, welcoming atmosphere filled with laughter, friendship, and the clink of glasses at our lively bar. Established as a cornerstone of Bere Ferrers, The BFS Club is dedicated to fostering community spirit. From families to retirees, our diverse members share a love for connection and a passion for making our village shine.

Our club is housed in a beautifully located building, surrounded by the stunning landscapes of the Tamar Valley National Landscape. Whether you’re sipping a pint while overlooking the river or joining a lively event, you’ll feel right at home.

Events That Bring Us Together

At The BFS Club, there’s always something exciting on the horizon. Our calendar is packed with events that cater to all tastes and ages, ensuring everyone finds their place in our community. Here are just a few highlights:

• Foodie Nights: Savour delicious, themed dinners like our Chinese New Year Buffet or Italian Feast, crafted with love by volunteer chefs. These evenings are a feast for the senses and a chance to mingle with neighbours.
• Bingo Bonanzas: Our monthly bingo nights are a village favourite, filled with friendly competition, prizes, and plenty of laughs. Perfect for a fun night out!
• Live Performances: Tap your feet to the soulful shanties of the Tavy Tars, our local shanty crew, or enjoy live music from talented regional artists.
• Language Classes & Workshops: Expand your horizons with Spanish lessons, skittles or snooker.
• Charity Fundraisers: Join us in supporting causes like the Devon Air Ambulance, with events that combine fun and giving back. Last year, we raised over £2,000 for local charities!

More Than a Club—A Community

What makes The BFS Club truly special is our members. From the volunteers who organise events to the regulars who share stories at the bar, every person adds to our unique tapestry. Here’s what one member, Sarah, had to say:

“The BFS Club is my happy place. Whether I’m playing bingo or dancing at a foodie night, I always leave with a smile. It’s like a big family!”

We’re proud to support our community through charitable efforts, local partnerships, and inclusive events. Our snooker room, bar and event spaces are available for hire, making the club a go-to spot for birthdays, weddings, and village gatherings.
