Community Kitchen

Located in our Family Room, the Community Kitchen is a well equipped and welcoming space made possible through generous support from the Chalk Cliff Trust, The Pride Foundation, and repurposed funds from criminal activity via Brighton & Hove Police. With four fridges, two cookers, and a large double- door freezer, the kitchen is ideal for a wide range of food-focused activities and events.

Our Community Kitchen facility is the result of ideas shared in our community surveys and is part of a long-term vision to support local people through food. It’s designed to host a variety of classes and groups that promote healthy, accessible and enjoyable cooking. Planned sessions include cookery classes, cooking on a budget, healthy eating, food knowledge sessions and community dining experiences.

This space is more than just a place to cook, it’s a place to gather. Whether you’re sharing a hot meal, chatting with neighbours, or making new friends, the kitchen brings people together. Most recently, it’s been used by the Hollingbury International Women’s Group to celebrate and share global cuisine and culture—keep an eye out for their upcoming cookbook!

The kitchen is also available to hire as a commercial space, perfect for small food businesses, community organisations, or anyone looking to run a cooking class or host a get-together. Prices start from £70 for 3 hours. For availability or to book, please visit our Facilities page.Â
