Welcome

Southwick’s large and lively Community Centre has a long history - and it continues to flourish by serving the needs of the present day.

• We host a huge range of activities for people to take part in - social, educational and recreational

- run by more than 50 clubs, societies and other organisations

• We run the thriving Barn Theatre and we stage other large community events
• We offer excellent facilities for people who want to organise meetings, conferences, training sessions - or to hold social functions, parties and wedding receptions

• We run the Barn Café, a popular meeting place serving drinks, freshly-made snacks and a great-value lunchtime menu.

Our events pages give information about shows, concerts, festivals, fairs and other public events held at the Centre.

Here is a quick link to on-line ticket booking for Barn events.

See our calendar for dates and times of meetings and classes taking place.

Our activities pages tell you about the many types of groups, clubs and classes which meet and operate at the Centre.

As well as the wide choice of events and activities which you might want to participate in, the Community Centre offers plenty of opportunities for volunteering.

If you’re interested in joining in with the running and improvement of the Centre, please have a look at our volunteering pages - and the many ways of getting involved.

Covid-19 emergency : National Lockdown

From 6 January we are obliged to close the Community Centre for general use under the government’s latest Covid-control regulations for the whole of England.  

So at present, unfortunately, the Community Centre is only able to be used for a limited number of “exempt activities”.  Most of our facilities, including the Barn Café, are therefore not available for use right now.

We are very sorry about the challenges now facing everyone in our community and far beyond.  Do please e-mail us if you’d like to get in touch.
