Sorry: still no parties. But we do have slots available for new regular user groups or classes.

Well, it’s the beginning of September, and things are slowly starting to get back to a slightly strange kind of normality – socially distanced and with a lot of extra cleaning, hand-sanitizing, and so on. Most of our user groups and classes have now resumed or will be doing so over the coming few weeks.

Unfortunately, owing to the ongoing restrictions on parties and larger scale social events, please note I’m afraid we’re not currently able to take bookings for parties and other one-off events of that nature. Sorry to disappoint – we have had a large number of requests, but the current rules, regulations and enhanced safety and cleaning requirements, mean it’s just not practical or cost-effective for us to open up the premises for one-off parties at present, even where we are allowed to. And we’re not allowed to in some circumstances.

We’ve also been inundated with new hire requests from classes and groups who have not been able to resume at their former, pre-pandemic venues. We do still have availability for new user groups wishing to run long-term classes or activities at the Centre – especially in our light, airy, upstairs hall. So please get in touch if you have a class, club, society or other group or activity you would like to run, and we will do our best to help you out.
