Great local facility serving the community, modern building very well equipped and with large well laid out car park. Conveniently located. Basically a Scout and Guide centre but a lot more, including adult education, painting classes etc for the whole community.

Nicely appointed building, easy access, attended a craft fair here as a stall holder, getting equipment in and out was straight forward, on similar note wheelchair access should be equally so. The hall our stall was in was light and airy. All in all a good place for events.
