Play the Lottery
We are delighted and excited to announce our association with Wiltshire Community Lotter.
It’s a weekly lottery that raises money for good causes in Wiltshire. All good causes supported by the lottery will benefit Wiltshire and its residents.
Chalke Valley Community Hub is now one of the eligible good causes which will benefit from money spent on lottery tickets.
Play the lottery and support The Hub – it’s that simple!
Tickets for the lottery cost just £1 a week. Each ticket has a 1 in 50 chance to win a prize each week, with a top prize of £25,000!
There will be a draw every Saturday night when a six digit winning combination will be picked. Prizes will be given to players with tickets that match the first or last 2 to 6 numbers from the winning combination. Match all six and you win the jackpot!
Tickets are available online.
Good luck!

June Newsletter
June Newsletter: A Royal Day at Buckingham Palace – 20th May 2025 – from Broad Chalke to Buckingham Palace’s Garden Party. Starting with a refined lunch at The Ritz, we entered the palace gates to a regal scene hosted by the Prince and Princess of Wales. With Princess Eugenie and others present, the event blended tradition and elegance, set against stunning gardens and a serene lake. A warm chat with Princess Eugenie and walking through the iconic gates were highlights. Smoked Chalke Stream Trout and brass band melodies perfected the day. Thanks to our community for this cherished memory.
