St Catherine's Community Centre
Our Community Centre is a key part of parish life and is based in a central location next to St Catherine’s Church and primary school on School Lane, Didsbury. The Community Centre is currently used by a wide range of groups, including a playgroup, a pre- and after-school wrap-around childcare group, a Scottish dancing group, a Swing Band, and St Catherine’s Scout Group. We also welcome bookings for wedding parties, birthday celebrations, Christenings and funerals, and regularly host charity fundraising events.
We are working to develop the Centre, and thanks to the support of a wide range of volunteers, we have now begun a programme of refurbishment, which will help to secure the future of our Centre.
We offer a meeting space for local groups, and we also have a large lounge, a licensed bar and a hall with a stage and a dancefloor, available for daytime and evening hire. Our hall caters for groups of up to 250 people, so is ideal for parties and celebrations.
We are easily reached by public transport, and within close walking distance of Didsbury tram stop. We also have accessible parking areas at the front of the Community Centre.
IMPORTANT UPDATE ABOUT COMMUNITY CENTRE (19/8/18):
A full damp survey has now been completed of the whole building and approx. 50 square metres of dry rot has been found in the hall. Tenders are being submitted next week, with a view to work hopefully commencing thereafter.
The lounge and annex have been passed as safe to use, although there is a small unrelated issue with the floor that needs to be fixed. The plan is to hold the playgroup and wraparound groups in the lounge and annex, together with the scout groups, yoga, Swingin' Affair, and other evening groups.
Whilst not being ideal, this will hopefully be a very short term arrangement before the hall becomes available again. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT.
