Lostwithiel Community Centre

Lostwithiel Community Centre

Lostwithiel Community Centre is the heart of many of the activities that take place in this bustling town. From Beer and Cider festivals, Toy Fairs and Craft Fairs to musical and theatrical events as well as private parties and weddings, the Centre offers a venue for all occasions, including Cornwall's longest running monthly Antiques Fair.

Centre rooms and facilities can be hired at a very reasonable rate, with special concessions for charitable organisations, and for local community groups. A large adjacent car park makes access easy and the centre also offers excellent wheelchair and disabled access and facilities.

The Centre hosts a busy programme of regular events and is also home to many local groups from Toddlers right through to the Memory Café! For dates of forthcoming events see this calendar

All groups and events at the Centre are listed in the monthly Lostwithiel Newsletter, which also carries news and details of many other events, activities and services throughout the town and surrounding area. It’s available free from the Centre, and other stockists in town and around, and also by email and on-line via this link
