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.
Hoole Community Centre is managed by Hoole Community Development Trust

🎤 OPEN MIC AFTERNOON - SEPTEMBER![]()

There were lots of 'firsts' this Open Mic Afternoon!![]()

🎶 First time in the cosy library space, as our usual home of the tearoom was in use. The first time we welcomed a poet! Rod wowed us with his self penned equally poignant and funny verses. We were transfixed by Finn and his Hand Pan. Another first for us! And it was a very talented 10 year old's first time performing in public after picking up a guitar for the first time last month (not that you would ever know!)![]()

💛 Thank you so much to the incredible talent of all the performers and to the captive audience too.![]()

**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.![]()
