It has several pubs and also a hotel, and also a series of takeaways and also restaurants. It can be fairly vibrant at night contrasted to lots of others of its dimension. It has numerous active social groups, such as Scouts, Guides, a gardening club as well as the Wotton Lions. In 1958, local people and college students built the community swimming pool, which was completed in 1961. Ultimately the swimming pool has had solar and also electric heating installed. In 1999 with the fund raising assistance of community groups, a retractable room was fitted to extend the swimming period. In 2002, following the closure of the regional cinema, a team of volunteers increased funds for a refurbishment to turn into one of the first digital cinemas in the UK. It re-opened in 2005 as a 100-seat facility inside an old stable backyard, when part of the Crown Inn which enclosed 1911. Movies were first displayed in the old Banqueting Hall of the Inn and also transferred to the stable lawn some years later, as a result of the appeal of films. The Wotton Electric Picture House (the initial name) is now a growing place.
