Trawden Forest Community Centre, Library & Shop
Community Centre
The Community Centre is run by a Committee of Trustees made up of volunteers from the local community.
We are entirely self-funded, covering our running costs through hire fees supplemented by grant fundraising.
​
The centre is made up of two function rooms – The Main Hall and The Lounge.
Both rooms are connected to the fully fitted Kitchen via a serving hatch and in addition the Main Hall has a licensed bar.
​
Many groups regularly meet at the Centre including every fortnight on alternate Thursdays there is an open invitation to attend the Trawden Forest Friendship Group.
For more info on our organised events check out our Whats On Page.
If you would like to learn more about using the Centre for your event check out our Main Hall and Lounge. pages.

Main Hall
Our Main Hall, available for hire, is a lovely 10m x 10m space with a recently refurbished wooden floor,
It is bright and airey with beautiful garden and outdoor seating.
The main hall can hold up to a maximum of 90 people (depending on the event). It benefits from a small, fully licenced bar which can be made available on request and also has a servery through to our fully fitted kitchen.
The hall is kept empty with chairs stacked around the edges and tables in store so that the space is ready for a wide variety of public and private events.
​
There are regular users from all walks of the community, from parent and toddler groups, youth groups, fitness, dance and craft classes to Friendship groups and social gatherings for older citizens.
Our hall can be quickly transformed by the hirer and/or by our talented volunteer dressers into a magical space hosting weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and other social events both public and private.
There is a fully fitted kitchen and the lounge next door which is often booked alongside the main hall to give a little extra room or to serve refreshments.
Prices are tailored to each event, from £12.00 per hour for the main hall and £10.00 for the lounge.
Please note ; Only alcohol purchased through the bar may be consumed on the premises or in the grounds which includes the car park and the grassed area surrounding the centre.
