The Venue for your next Community Connection!

Meetings, Conferences, Training Courses, Rehearsals, Performances, Activities or Social Events. We can help! We have three halls and a meeting room that can serve your needs.

But more than just renting space, you can contribute to a Community of User Groups in order to share experiences and potentially clients as well. This is part of the uniqueness of this venue as we strive to enable the best support to local people as possible.

By holding your event or renting a desk here, you help to promote social enterprise, create employment for people facing barriers to mainstream opportunities, and support community & wellbeing activities and events.
