Bachman Community Center

Bachman Community Center is a community venue in the historic Nathan L. Bachman school building in Walden, Tennessee. Organisers can enquire about hiring a range of indoor and outdoor spaces for gatherings, meetings, parties and performances, with options suited to both smaller groups and larger occasions.

The centre’s cafeteria is approximately 1,500 square feet and can be reserved with tables and chairs. Organisers may also ask about using the kitchen. The original auditorium has seating for around 250 people and is available for performances and larger meetings. Other hire options include a dance and exercise studio, as well as outdoor areas such as the playground, blacktop and field. The centre describes its spaces as available for short-term or longer-term rental, so it may suit different types of community and event use.

Bachman Community Center is also home to the Mountain Opry, a recurring bluegrass music event, along with community programmes and organisations. These activities give the building an established role as a local gathering place, while its rental spaces are available to outside organisers. Event planners can contact the centre to discuss suitable rooms, facilities and availability for their plans.
