The Gatherings

A Community Center in Surry with a mission to foster community through sharing, cooperation, learning and the arts.

We offer a spacious, flexible, convenient and affordable space to gather together, host events, groups, parties and weddings. The Gatherings is a place to bring community together! In May 2016, the Gatherings opened in a building across the street from the Surry post office with a large room downstairs set up with movable furniture to create a large meeting room, small performance venue or party r

oom. The kitchen area allows people to host meals or get together with neighbors for a cup of tea and a game of scrabble, cribbage or what ever strikes your fancy. A small library has created the book nook between the café /kitchen and large room. Thanks to a generous donation from then the Stephen and Tabitha King Foundation, the renovations to the second floor were complete in 2017. This expanded space allows us to better cater to the younger members of our community, with space for activities such as crafts, Legos, board games and a Foosball table. Having this safe place near the main rooms makes it possible for more parents to participate in community activities without the worry of childcare. The other room on the second floor has been left as an open area for art, exercise/yoga classes, private meeting space and more! The large lawn is perfect for outdoor games and celebrations. Eventually, it includes a small community garden and orchard that could be expanded, and a playground may be added too. We have support from the town selectmen, town committees, local businesses and other nonprofits in the area. More than 200 donors and volunteers have gotten us this far, and we hope that others can help move us into the future.

More than 200 donors and volunteers have given their time, talent and resources to create The Gatherings. “Innumerable people have contributed in a variety of big and small ways to make The Gatherings what it is today. I can’t wait to see what our community does with The Gatherings in the next 10 years,” said founding board member Flo Reed.
