A welcoming and diverse local community events and hire venue.
The Old Boat Corner Community Centre is a home away from home, a place where you can relax, play and make mess, seek help, eat and drink, and enjoy the variety of activities and facilities readily available to all ages and abilities.
Our event spaces host a range of private and community-run classes and groups, from mother and baby, soft play and arts and craft, to coffee mornings for the older generation, charitable fundraisers and a variety of sports groups. There is something for everyone!
Parties are also catered for, as the centre offers a large sports hall, a family room as well as other facilities, all available for hire. These are ideal for parties, sport clubs, training sessions, meetings, and a licensed bar can be provided should you require one.
Most importantly the centre is a warm and welcoming place, where you can get information, knowledge, and help within a caring community space.
The Centre Cafe serves hot and cold food and drinks, and is open 7 days a week from 9am to 5pm. Click here for the menu.

Such a fantastic place to visit with super friendly staff and volunteers. So many varied activities taking place through the week. A well stocked library section, lovely affordable snacks and refreshment. I especially love the cloth swap service where you can take unwanted clothes and swap them for something new. Well worth a visit if you are in the local area.
