The Beckingham Institute dates from 1908 and was built by the Watson family, major benefactors to the village, as a recreational facility out of their concern for the social welfare of the community.
It is vested in the Council for World Mission Charity as Trustees and is managed on their behalf by an Executive Committee. The original deed of trust decreed there should be no gambling, card playing or drinking of alcohol on the premises. These rules still stand today and in addition no food, drink or smoking is allowed.
The facilities have changed over the years and now consist of a Games room with one full-size billiard table used for billiards or snooker by adult members only, along with a three-quarter-size billiards table used for billiards, snooker playing pool by all members. Both tables are lit using a coin-in-the-slot meter. Darts and dominoes are also available. An annual competitions evening is held with trophies for billiards, snooker (singles, doubles and junior classes) pool and darts.
