Regular activities at the space

Each week we have a range of regular activities that happen at the Community Space - you can always pop in and join (or watch) whatever is going on - or just enjoy a chat with the volunteers/other participants. Perhaps you just want a quiet space - that's an option too (except when the musical activities are on which tend to be a bit louder!).

We are looking forward to meeting you!
