Facilities at The Centre

Events and Sports Halls

There are two halls that can be booked for sports or for social events. Kitchen facilities are also available for preparing and heating your own food. The halls are separated by a removable 'wall' and so can be used either individually or joined together to make one large venue. The small hall is approximately 15 m x 7.5 m and the large hall 15 m x 15 m. Outside the rear doors of the small hall, there is a fenced-off area of grass that proves very popular for children's parties (during good weather!).
