Welcome to Hoole Community Centre
Hoole Community Centre provides a practical and safe place for local groups. We hire space for workshops, classes, meetings, children’s activities and family celebrations.
There are over 20 different activities taking place at the moment ranging from activities such as zumba, Yoga, art classes and a variety of dance classes. The community centre has several spaces available for hire, one being a large hall.
Hoole Community Centre has a community cafe which offers homemade, delicious food at affordable prices. There is a library where you can knit and natter and be part of a book club. There’s a weekly senior’s club, international coffee morning, IT buddies and a social table tennis afternoon. All would not be possible without dedicated staff and a team of amazing volunteers.
Our mission is to serve the community today and in the future.

OPEN MIC THIS SUNDAY 😀![]()
These monthly Open Mics certainly come around quickly and honestly, we're so happy that they do! It's such a perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Maybe you're on your way out for a roast or a nice Sunday stroll (or nursing a hangover!). Pop in and see us! Sign up opens at 11.30 and the music starts at 12.![]()
Whether you're a performer or listener, you'd be so welcome 💛![]()
Full P.A provided including 2 microphones. Just bring your instrument. Apologies, we can't accommodate backing tracks.
Some performers come to Hoole Community Centre and leave a real impression and Duane Forrest is definitely one of them!![]()
We’re genuinely delighted to be welcoming Duane back to the Centre for the third time, this time with his award-winning show:![]()
**TENDERLY: The Music of Nat King Cole**![]()
Those of you who have seen Duane perform here before will already know just how talented he is. There’s something incredibly warm and intimate about his performances, and it’s always a pleasure to have him with us.![]()
This time, Duane brings together the timeless music of **Nat King Cole** with storytelling and personal reflection to explore the life and legacy of one of the 20th century’s most iconic voices.![]()
It’s not simply a tribute to Nat King Cole. Through his music, Duane tells the story of a Black artist navigating 1950s America – a man celebrated on stage while facing discrimination away from it – and explores themes of identity, dignity, influence and quiet resistance.![]()
Having taken his work from Off-Broadway to international festivals, we feel incredibly lucky to be able to welcome Duane back to our little corner of Hoole.![]()
If you’ve joined us for one of his previous performances, we’d love to see you again. And if you haven’t yet had the chance to see Duane perform, this is a lovely opportunity to discover why we keep inviting him back!![]()
Book your tickets here: www.ticketsource.com/hoolecommunitycentre/tenderly-the-life-and-times-of-nat-king-cole/e-glbplr or pay on the night - come and give Duane a very warm Hoole welcome back. 🎶![]()

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it, or it's been deleted.
Despite the rain more was achieved than we hoped for by yesterday’s weeding group. Big thanks to volunteers Remina, Brian, Dave and Thomas. Top effort, thank you for your time and enthusiasm.![]()
