Lovely welcoming space with friendly reception staff and big kitchen available for use. Had all the yoga mats and equipment we needed.
There was no line-out, mobile phone cable for the big black speaker. Was hard to get to work - so not sure if it is working.

The space was fantastic for our workshop! We hosted a workshop for 35 people with presentations, discussions, and table group work. The room is spacious and accessible. Everyone could see the projector and the acoustics are also great so group discussions don't get too loud! Access to the kitchen was great to get hot water and mugs etc. The team at the Centre are brilliant and super helpful. As a charity, this was a really affordable space and I could not recommend it more! We can't wait to use the space again!!
