Duxford Community Centre
Duxford Community Centre
Opened in August 2020, Duxford Community Centre is an exceptional, fully accessible, multi-functional local venue catering for a range of community groups, events and functions. We are situated ony 5 minutes from J10 of the M11. Our building is next to the excellent Duxford village children’s playground, which can be seen from our cafe.
Our facilities, available for one off or regular bookings, offer a large hall with the capacity to seat 150, a smaller hall to seat 65, and a meeting room for up to 20. The two halls can combine to make one large area. We also have space in our foyer for hiring up to 3 tables for sale of goods, such as craft items.
We have large 10 seater tables for big events, such as weddings, and smaller tables for other events. We have a demountable stage and in the large hall have gantry mounted stage lighting. A community kitchen supports our rooms for hire for any small scale self-catering and there is a great cafe on site, Café 19, run as a separate business, that can handle any catering from meetings to weddings and wakes. We have an arrangement with a local publican who runs any staffed bar as required, but we are also fully licenced for self-catered bars.
We also have excellent sports changing facilities, including a referee’s room that doubles as a treatment room.
Both our meeting room and small hall have excellent plug in and play audio visual screens, and we have a projector and screen for our large hall.
