Community Centres & Halls

Community Centres

We are fortunate to have two popular Community Centres in our Parish; one is at Marshalswick, The Ridgeway, next to the library, and the other in St Brelades Place in Jersey Farm, off Sandringham Crescent (behind the Blackberry Jack Pub).

Our vision is to maintain these community spaces as thriving centres for leisure, creativity, support, advice and education. They are places to bring local people together and build stronger neighbourhoods.

Many varied community activities take place at each centre on a daily basis. These include playgroups and children’s clubs, a range of exercise and dance classes for all ages, sessions for the local Japanese and Hong Kong communities, and classes run by a variety of community charities and groups, to name just a few! The full weekly programmes of activities at each venue can be found via the links below.

**We currently have a few available weekday time slots available for regular hire at Marshalswick Community Centre, so if you are looking for a place to run your local group or class, please do get in touch to check availability and pricing**
