This is YOUR regional community center! If you’re looking for space to hold an event, we’re ready to help you to make it happen.  With its open floor plan, flexible seating, good sound, new theater lights and stage, and reasonable rental rates, the Wendell Meetinghouse is a great event venue – we’d love to make you welcome.

And did you know? The Wendell Meetinghouse is part of Mass Cultural Council’s Card to Culture program!

The Wendell Meetinghouse was very pleased to receive such creative and inspiring applications from artists, performers, and workshop leaders for this series. On behalf of the Friends of the Wendell Meetinghouse and the community we serve, our thanks to those who put in the time to develop ideas for collaboration and residencies with the Meetinghouse!

And now – drum roll please – we’re please to announce our 2026 Community Arts & Conversations program! Individual events will continue to be listed in Wendell Meetinghouse Events, but we invite you to explore the whole series here. Please join us for these community events, and help spread the word!

With the help of the whole community — tradespeople, volunteers, and donors, we have rebuilt the Meetinghouse from the ancient posts and beams to the modern acoustic sound panels. Floors, walls, ceiling, wiring, insulation, windows, doors, stone steps and ADA entryway have all been updated and refinished –see more on recent renovations here.  Dating back to 1846, the Meetinghouse has a long history of service to Wendell and surrounding towns.  Now it’s ready for the next 175 years! 

Opening the doors to events in this beautiful space has been such a momentous achievement, but we know we need much more: running water, bathrooms, a sustainable heating/cooling system, a warming kitchen, performers’ green room, storage space, and a new roof and a fresh coat of outside paint.  We encourage you to learn more about future building improvement planning and how you can help to make these dreams come true!

The Friends of the Wendell Meetinghouse, Inc. is a great community of volunteers who share a vision for developing the Meetinghouse as a vibrant community center.  Some of us serve on the Board, some on committees, and some show up for work parties – like polishing the old pews!  If you would like to help with events, building maintenance, curating photos on our website, helping us with outreach or other tasks, or joining a committee or the Board, let us know. We can’t do this without you!

Our financial fundraising continues to meet the goal of maintaining the beautiful Meetinghouse building, hosting and sponsoring diverse programming meeting community needs, and developing a vibrant arts and culture center in our region.
