The centre has a long history, beginning with a small group of First World War veterans who wanted to provide some local amenity for all. Land was donated and various groups gathered to raise sufficient funds for a building. After WWII some wooden huts were obtained and Hanham Folk Centre came into being in 1949. By the early 1960s the stable balance sheets helped offers of more grants. Mr. B. Woodward drew up the architectural plans for new brick buildings as well as improved sports grounds and facilities. The present building was officially opened on 16th June 1964.
