Avebury henge and stone circles are one of the greatest marvels of  prehistoric Britain. Built and much altered during the Neolithic period,  roughly between 2850 BC and 2200 BC, the henge survives as a huge  circular bank and ditch, encircling an area that includes part of  Avebury village. Within the henge is the largest stone circle in Britain  - originally of about 100 stones - which in turn encloses two smaller  stone circles.

Avebury is part of an extraordinary set of Neolithic and Bronze Age  ceremonial sites that seemingly formed a vast sacred landscape. They  include West Kennet Avenue, West Kennet Long Barrow, The Sanctuary, Windmill Hill, and the mysterious Silbury Hill. Many can be reached on foot from the village. The Alexander Keiller Museum also displays many notable finds from the Avebury monuments. Together  with Stonehenge, Avebury and its surroundings are a World Heritage Site.

The Social Centre in Avebury was built in the Victorian era and was  formerly the Village School. In the early 1990s an extension was built  to include a new kitchen and toilets. The main hall is approximately 180  sq m and has a curtained off stage area with portable staging.
