An Affordable Community Space for Hire in Southampton

Our Community Space is available to hire seven days a week, daytime and evenings.

Community groups, societies, local businesses and individuals are welcome to hire the spaces for a range of purposes including:

• meetings

• events

• classes

• therapeutic sessions

• 121 sessions

• or just a quiet space to work

Freelancers are welcome to book as a group and create a pop up co-work space.

Rates are set to be affordable for our community and fair to us.

Rates during shop opening times are lower than outside shop opening times, as staff are already on site. Opening the building out of hours means we need to cover extra staffing costs.

Sunday rates are by discussion.

• Small area of community space - up to 10 people
