Currently we are checking daily for the sector government specific guidelines on how we can open from 4th July. Whatever they are there will be a phased reopening and a more limited service.

19/06/2020

We are currently risk assessing the centre in anticipation of the government deciding if community centres can reopen from the 4th July. Even if we can open from this date it maybe the case that there will be a delay whilst we put changes into effect. We will keep you posted. The Sedgwick Room will also be closed for hire to the public on reopening.

Due to the current Covid-19 outbreak and inline with Government
guidelines the centre is now closed until further notice. We hope to see you all again soon. Stay Well/
