About the Woodingdean Community Centre

The Woodingdean Community Centre is a spacious venue at the heart of our community.

The Community Centre is a popular venue for regular activities and hire for special occasions. It has a range of accessible rooms and is in a prominent location on main Warren Road.

The Centre was built in 1962, has been in continual use since then and is very well maintained. The building has been recently renovated and updated to provide a modern, versatile and attractive hire space. It has free Wi-Fi and is covered by a CCTV system throughout the building and the surrounding garden area.

There are two large rooms, a well-equipped kitchen, toilets (including a disabled access toilet) and a lovely outside patio space and garden area (find out more in our hall for hire section).

The Centre is located on good public transport routes, both the Brighton & Hove 2 and 22 buses stop outside, on Warren Road. There is also a small car park in front of the centre and additional nearby on-street parking.

The Centre is managed by the volunteers of the Woodingdean Community Association and the building is owned by Brighton & Hove City Council. On a Monday and Thursday morning, from 9am to noon, the Centre Manager is available to speak to. Outside of these hours messages can be left on the telephone answer machine (01273 685940) or sent by email (message.wcc@gmail.com).

The Community Centre is a thriving venture thanks to the dedication of the Woodingdean Community Association. As part of the recent renovations, a new addition to the facilities is an outside patio area with seating and plant pots - this area is lovingly tended to by the Woodingdean Horticultural Society. Inside the building, the kitchen area and toilets have been updated.

We are always very welcoming to new volunteers and we'd love to hear from you if you're interested in helping maintain this excellent facility. Maybe you have a few free hours a month or you can share skills useful in the on-going running and upkeep of the Community Centre? If so, please do get in touch or attend our next quarterly meeting. Meetings will be publicised on our news and events page.
