Since the Parish Hall was built, it has become the focus of many social gatherings — a role that it took over from the closed Oxford Arms, and later, the schoolroom. Cricket, which had been played elsewhere, moved to the field next to the Hall, where it still remains. Other clubs and societies were shorter lived, such as the Youth Club in the 1950s.

The Brampton Bryan Women's Institute, founded in 1918, started meeting in the Hall as soon as it was open. From 1985 until 2018, the WI organised community Christmas pudding making every year. From small beginnings, making puddings for their own use, the members began to take orders, until they were mixing three hundred pounds of ingredients every year, and borrowing giant bowls from Wigmore High School. Sadly, the number of members dropped until they could no longer mix at this scale and they stopped in 2018. Luckily, the idea was picked up by Leintwardine Primary School, so the idea has not been lost!

The Brampton Bryan WI officially closed in 2022, and passed all its records into safe keeping at an archive. The last members made a commemorative patchwork tablecloth, with their names stitched onto the back.
