Much of Urchfont's social life revolves around a few shared places: St Michael's church, the Lamb Inn and its skittle alley, the cricket pitch and the tennis courts, and the village also has a family-run dental practice. Since 1997 the village has held a Scarecrow Festival over the first May bank holiday weekend, when around 50 themed scarecrows made by villagers appear along the streets. Walkers have the Wessex Ridgeway on the doorstep, and the higher ground to the south gives wide views back across the Vale, though Salisbury Plain is used for military training, so check access before setting out. Urchfont Church of England Primary School is in the village, and Urchfont falls within the catchment area of Lavington School in Market Lavington.
This has been a substantial settlement for a long time. The Domesday Book recorded 82 households here in 1086, and the land remained with St Mary's Abbey in Winchester until the Dissolution. The Grade I listed Church of St Michael and All Angels dates mainly from the late 13th and early 14th centuries, and Urchfont Manor, built in the late 17th century just west of the village, is Grade II* listed. Homes range from period cottages and farmhouses to later family houses.
Most of the village lies just north of the B3098, which links Market Lavington with the A342 Devizes to Upavon road, and Devizes, with its supermarkets, wider range of shops and leisure facilities, is around 3.5 miles away. Pewsey station, further along the Vale, has direct trains to London Paddington. A proposed Devizes Gateway station at Lydeway has received Department for Transport funding for feasibility studies, although nothing has been confirmed.
