Chapeltown & Burncross Community Centre - Weekly Hire Slots Now Available

Chapeltown & Burncross Community Centre is a charity-based, not-for-profit venue run for the benefit of our local community.

Our aim is to provide a welcoming, accessible, and well-managed space where local people can come together, learn, move, socialise, and take part in a varied programme of activities.

We currently have some daytime availability for regular weekly group sessions.

In addition, a very rare Wednesday evening slot will soon become available - something that has not happened for well over a decade.

We are especially interested in hearing from groups, instructors, organisations, and small local businesses who would like to offer something positive, useful, inclusive, and community-focused for local residents.

ENQUIRIES: If you are interested in applying for venue hire and discussing your proposal, please contact us directly via the Facebook message tab.

Please note:
- As a community venue, we aim to offer a varied programme of activities, and avoid duplicating bookings within the same genre where similar provision already exists.
- All businesses/user groups must provide a valid Public Liability Insurance (PLI) certificate.
- A valid DBS certificate is required for anyone working with children.
- Safeguarding policy details may also be required where relevant.
- Regular bookings are generally offered on a long-term weekly basis, rather than on an ad hoc basis.
- Limited ad hoc rental slots may occasionally become available where space permits. Please message us directly for further details.

We welcome enquiries from people who share our commitment to supporting the local community and making good use of this valued local space.
