Managed by the Shirley Community Association, The Shirley Community Centre is a vibrant venue that hosts a variety of events and activities throughout the year. It is suitable for community gatherings, meetings, and performances. The centre features multiple spaces available for hire, including the Main Hall, Small Hall, New Lounge, Room 1, The Hub, and Meeting Room 3. The venue operates as a not-for-profit charity, with all hire fees reinvested into the upkeep of the building and community initiatives. The centre is also home to the Centre Stage Theatre group, which welcomes new members for performances, including the upcoming musical 'Annie' in February 2025. This friendly and sociable group encourages participation from all skill levels, making it an excellent opportunity for those interested in theatre. The venue is a community asset, supported by unpaid volunteers who work hard to maintain its operations.
