This venue is such a hidden gem! Perfect for a wedding reception. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a lovely pathway lined with flowers. There’s plenty of parking, which is super convenient.

The hall is spacious enough for around 100 people, and the kitchen is great for caterers. But honestly, the best part is the massive garden—it’s perfect for cocktail hour, outdoor games, or just enjoying the sunshine. It is especially beautiful during spring/summer time when all the flowers are in bloom.

A massive thank you to Julie and the team for making the whole process so smooth and for their quick responses. We had an amazing time here and would definitely come back for future events!

This centre is very well maintained, specifically the garden, which is run by volunteers. This is evidence of the passion and love they have for the spacr. The host Julie was very warm, welcoming and accomodating, as was every other member of staff available. There is ample parking, facilities and space. Nothing negative to say about the venue, process or staff at all. Will be back soon!

Space That Works

The Brenda Blakemore Community Centre has been an incredible space for our martial arts classes. It’s flexible, clean, and perfect for families of all ages. The location is easy to reach, and the welcoming atmosphere makes every session feel special. The mirrored wall helps students see their technique and improve quickly, while the spacious layout gives us plenty of room to move, jump and train safely. It’s genuinely one of the best community venues we’ve used for martial arts.
