You can be certain that when you reserve the Stanwix Community Centre for your event, that you will have access to a convenient and well-equipped location to hold your gathering.
Let's take a quick peek at the facility and the wide range of events that can be held there.
The Centre has stood as a community meeting hub since 2010, when the building was refurbished by the Community Association. Now, it is a clean, inviting space with a small kitchen and space to seat roughly 40 individuals, though the space can also be left open to facilitate standing-room events.
Up until this point, the Centre has been host to a range of adult education events, professional development courses, and business meetings. It is also available for birthday parties, family reunions, community banquets, and more, though it should be noted that special permissions must be secured to serve alcohol on the premises.
The Centre can be found in the heart of Stanwix, and, as the Stanwix Community Association explains, was formerly a part of the nearby primary school campus. It is also in close proximity to Bitts Park, making it ideal for indoor-outdoor events, orienteering, or wilderness safety courses.
Notably, it is perched right on top of the presumed remains of Petriana, the largest Roman fortress on Hadrian's Wall! Local organizers have shown off the rare archaeological finds that have been unearthed there in the past, and may do so again at events in the future.
Stanwix Community Association, who operate the Centre, are a registered charity organization and the association is made up of long-time residents of the village and surrounding area. They were responsible for the initiative to renovate the space, and are inviting all residents of both Stanwix and the greater Carlisle area to reserve the Centre in the new year.
A spokesperson added, "Our local councillors are active in bringing community activities such as “Stanwix in Bloom,” The Big Tidy, Jubilee Jamboree, Remembrance Day activities and Christmas fairs here to Stanwix Community Centre, for easy access for local residents which really makes us the ‘venue at the heart of the village’."
The premises are equipped with a fully functional Smart Board system for presentations, as well as a projector, sound system, and fibre internet connection. It is available at a rate of £15/hr, and may be reserved at the link below or by contacting the Stanwix Community Association at 01228 272572.
