The Orbital is a vibrant, newly refurbished Community Centre. The centre is very spacious with four rooms to hire as well as a kitchen and car park area. We also have a studio room equipped with mirrors and basic exercise equipment provided.
The Orbital is proud to host over 30 groups offering a very diverse range of activities for our local community which range from healthy lifestyle classes like Zumba and over 50s dance to learning how to play an instrument. The Orbital caters for all members of the community and is wheelchair accessible.
The centre is always changing to meet the needs of the local community and as a result we now have two fantastic community led café’s which have both proved to be very popular. Below please find details of our activities programme.
