The Burnside Memorial Hall was donated to the parish of Plumtree by Mrs. Alice Mary Burnside in memory of her husband, William Elliott Burnside, and was opened in 1921. The Hall is administered by Trustees.

The Burnside Memorial Hall today fulfils a vital role in providing a venue for village events. It is used regularly by Plumtree School and the WI, by the Church, for Parish Council meetings, for bridge and art groups and for dance classes.

Details of the Burnside Memorial Hall's facilities and how to hire it.

Plumtree's local pub The Griffin was built in 1843. It was the subject of an extensive refurbishment and re-opened on July 1st 2019.

For fine dining there is the award-winning Perkins Bar & Bistro (and the associated "Carriage Hall" wedding and event venue), located in the converted railway station.

Also, within walking distance is the Charde Oriental restaurant (opposite the petrol station on the Melton Road, Tollerton). A bit further afield is the newly refurbished Air Hostess at Tollerton.

The club has been in existence since 1815 and has a traditional village cricket ground located on the outskirts of the village. It functions at the high end of recreational cricket and also organises a varied range of social activities.

The cricket club has recently completed work to substantially improve the facilities offered by the pavilion. These include:

• additional facilities for disability cricket;
• a raised access deck and viewing area;
• and a re-designed bar.

Not only do these improvements benefit disabled cricketers (the Club acts as a base for the Nottinghamshire Visually Impaired Cricket Club) but they also have created an improved social venue for spectators and village residents alike.

2014 was one of the most successful years in the club's history with many successes for both teams and individuals on the field. In 2015 the club celebrated its bicentenary and held a number of cricketing and social events throughout the year. Few clubs can claim to have been around since 1815 and even fewer have been playing continuously since then.
