Post lockdown limited opening

Woodhouse Community Centre is now open on a limited basis.
For anyone on site we are still requiring masks and social distancing.
Reception & IT Suite will be open Monday to Thursday 10am-3pm. Subject to available staffing.

 

We are currently taking bookings for support groups, training, exercise classes, and some other well planned activities.

 

Due to the continued risk from Covid-19, we are carefully considering certain bookings for parties, gatherings or other social bookings on a case-by case basis.
For large or social bookings please email events@oblong.org.uk and we can discuss what precautions are necessary.
