Meeting Rooms

We have space! Come through our doors and you'll find community groups, training, offices, support organisations, interest groups, kids clubs, music, exercise groups, martial arts, conferencing and more, (sometimes all at the same time). We aim to provide space for our community and others to do the things they want to do.

We are home to a lot of local groups and the rooms are also booked regularly by training organisations. If you need space for a regular group, a meeting or training, please get in touch.

Our rooms are bright, open and we think a bit funky. Some are more private than others and they are within a well-used community centre. This means people come and go, walk past the window and occasionally wave. If you seek silence, beige decor and serious faces, probably best to go to a hotel venue! We are home to third sector offices, local organisations and community groups, expect a bit of bustle and a bit of life.

The information here is for charities, local groups and other organisations who may want to book a space. We have restrictions on hire for private use, such as family parties. Please click here for more details.

Our Rooms

Six unique spaces, big on warmth and versatility.

Tree Room

Fits 10 people comfortably (up to 15 cosily). The birch tree wallpaper flows out through the big sunny windows into the trees outside (unless it’s raining, then the windows aren’t sunny). Direct access to the outside. Great for smaller meetings, workshops, interviews or one-to-ones.

Sanctuary

Our favourite room, fits 40 people comfortably (up to 60 cosily). Big windows, wooden floor, flexible layout, PA, kitchenette, loads of light and direct access to the gardens. What else can we say (except this room is booked most of the time so be flexible if you want it).

The Main Hall

A big space that's lovely for acoustic performances. Refurbished in 2016, it now looks rather good. Suitable for up 120 people, works best around 75 – 100. PA available, blackout, immediate access to small garden (access to pool table). Great for larger meetings, conferencing, performances or groups.

Evergreen

It’s good for meetings, small activities and workshops, also useful for if you just need a pop-up office for a day or so. It has a door straight outside to the back garden. The room is used by young people in the evenings.

Gardens

We are surrounded on every side by gardens, with a working garden which includes an earth oven. The spaces can be used for sitting or activities. Exclusive outside space can be arranged if required.

Café space

A shared, public space, available evenings and weekends, an informal meeting space for about 30 people. Groovy, stylish (well it was generously furnished by John Lewis!). Ideal for consultation type events (restricted hours as The Olive Branch Café runs here weekdays)

AFFORDABLE ROOM HIRE

Our room hire prices range from £30 to £55 per session, depending on the room you are after.

FLEXIBLE SESSIONS

A session is approx. 3-4 hours and is either a morning, afternoon or evening. We'll work around you.

REFRESHMENTS & CATERING

Enjoy refreshments, or let 3 Beans café take care of everything from tea and coffee to full buffets.

Details for hiring our meeting rooms

Welcome to Three Trees, the centre of our community

You can use the café between 8.30 and 2.30, pre-order or order as you go.

Refreshments can also be provided in the room, from make it yourself tea and coffee through to a full buffet. We offer ethically sourced (and pretty damn good) speciality coffee, and where we can we aim to use products that are ethical/fair trade and taste good. If you really want instant coffee, we can even do that, but come on, life has trials of its own, why make things worse.

We can help you organise larger events, working with our partners at Chelmund’s Chippy, Northern Star Arts, 3 Beans Kitchen and Black Train Music. We can cater for fish and chip suppers, quiz nights, buffets, afternoon teas, food/drink tasting events and musical events. If you’ve got another idea, let us know, we might be able to help you make it happen.

Our main partners are all social enterprises and are of a high standard in terms of quality of service and ethical approach. We also operate on a human scale believing that small is beautiful. Most of our activities and events are for between 6 and 120 people.
