Everything we do is about the community, take a look at what some of our customers and community members have been saying!

Had a party booked here for my child and they couldn’t have been more helpful, place was clean, the staff and volunteers are friendly and is a reasonable price for such a big space.

The Branksome Community Centre is a great place for events.

From kids birthday parties to family get-togethers and even club meetings. The team can make sure that the event goes off without a hitch! 

The team are so friendly!

Amazing place with lots to do for all ages!! Would love to see more things like this given more support! The cafe is amazingly priced, good quality and they have so many, toys for toddlers! Such a good day out with my almost two year old for park, lunch and play!

I booked my sons first birthday party at the branksome centre. What a great venue. We had the hall and cafe and worked fantastic as the kids can blow off steam in the hall with all the toys etc and the adults can relax in the cafe. Thank you for making the booking and day go nice and smoothly! Highly recommend and will book every year!

A lovely place that has a friendly atmosphere and staff offering a range of activities and services. Highly recommended.

Great hall and lovely little cafe. Always made to feel welcome here even our doggy gets offered treats when we come here for a coffee
