Brickhill Community Centre
The Community Centre is located in Avon Drive, Brickhill, close to the local shopping parade. The Centre
consists of two halls – one large and a smaller hall on the first floor. Both halls have associated facilities for
making drinks and snacks and for washing up. All parts of the Community Centre can be accessed by
physically disabled people as there is a lift to the first floor.
There are gents and ladies toilets on both the ground and first floors; there is also a disabled toilet on the
ground floor. There is also a small meeting room on the ground floor, with doors that lead to a paved
outdoor area.
The car park has space for 20 vehicles, with additional parking space available at the nearby Avon Drive
shopping parade and along Avon Drive.
The Community Centre is used by many regular hirers. The following table shows the regular bookings. If you
are looking for a room or hall to hire, whether it is a one-off or more frequently, please contact the
Community Centre Manager, Sue Stewart on Bedford 312332. The Community Centre office is open
