Our story

Built with Lottery funding, and overseen by a dedicated team of individuals who formed the first Management Committee, Wilberfoss Community Centre has been a hive of activity since it opened its doors in 1999.  It is run on a daily basis by 3 paid part-time members of staff - two of whom have been on site for more than 20 years!  The Centre is available to hire 7 days a week.  Please get in touch with our Centre Manager, Sarah Wills, who will be happy to give you a guided tour. 


Funding from Sport England, the FCC Communities Foundation and Humber & East Riding Charitable Trust in 2020 allowed us to fit acoustic sound boards to the walls and ceiling, install a dimmable lighting system, add an automatic entrance door to make access easier, and replace curtains.  Other upgrades have included a free fully-fitted kitchen provided by Howdens Joinery and a solid maple floor that's ideal for dancing and fitness.  Continuous upgrades help to secure the future of Wilberfoss Community Centre.

 

The Centre plays host to a large number of regular and one-off users and is an ideal venue for parties and celebrations too.   In addition, the Management Committee see the Centre as a Hub so they organise opportunities for the community to gather.  Tuesday Chat (which is a free to access social space providing free refreshments and sometimes homemade cakes) and themed quiz nights are examples of this.  Continue scrolling to find an activity.  (The blue links offer  access to our user websites and/or contact details).


Hiring rates are charged per room, per hour and start from as little as £11 for non-profit making bookings, rising to £13 for semi-commercial users and  £20 for commercial hirers.  Three rooms are separated by moveable partitions, so they can be combined to make larger spaces for bigger groups and activities. 


As well as the main hall we have two small meeting rooms which can be used for study, interviews, training, meetings, therapy sessions, etc. These offices can be hired on a half-day or full-day basis.  The cost for the small office (for up to 3 people) is £15 for a half day and £30 for a full day and the meeting room, which can comfortably accommodate 8-10 people, can be rented for a half day at £30 and a full day at £60.
