Please note that Sunday bookings are being phased out.
Abergavenny Community Centre is a multi-purpose venue that has different rooms available for hire & use. The building also serves as a good friend to many individuals and groups, so the charity is mindful of how it is put it to use in wider community service.
It’s a good for children’s birthday parties, and ‘gentle’ adult family gatherings/celebrations will be considered. Please note that the premises doesn’t have a bar and is not licensed to sell alcohol.
Send and email to us and we’ll be happy to talk through bespoke requirements for family gatherings & life events.
Catering requests considered. Email: aber.hub@gmail.com at any time which is the preferred form of initial contact for the busy staff team. Thank you.
Please have a clear idea of what you need from the venue, ie. how many people are coming and what food you want to provide (& who will be the provider) as it’s not possible to give firm prices until you are clear about your requirements and we understand the demands on the venue.
There are many options with each space suitable for a range of uses including events, workshops, meetings, counselling, training, conferences, gatherings, family gatherings, well-being activities, music, art and crafts, clubs or homeworkers.
Charges vary according to different factors, for example, is the session being run for personal profit or is it run as a good cause? Will it be weekly, occasional or once only? How many people will attend? Will you need storage? And, if you are open to working in partnership to achieve common aims and goals.
ROOM HIRE CHARGES [we work hard to find a fair price for everyone]
Are you looking to offer something that benefits the wider community? The Centre is a community resource and the charity which governs the Centre is pleased to collaborate with groups/initiatives that exist to support families, children & young people, older people, people with protected characteristics – and the wider fabric of a healthy society. We are collaborators, so please get in touch to discuss your thoughts. E: aber.hub@gmail.com (Marion)
If yours is a ‘one-off’ activity eg. a team meeting or training funded by the private or public sector or run for personal profit, here is a general guide to the hourly charges.
£14 – £22 per hour [3 x classrooms]
£18 – £28 per hour [Main hall]
£33 – £42 per hour – Main/Small hall combined. This fee assumes larger gatherings of 50-80 people. If you are serving food & refreshments and/or require an additional cloakroom area then other charges may apply. Please discuss.
£17 – £35 per hour to hire the Community Kitchen (The kitchen is of a commercial standard and Hirers must hold public liability insurance & have a food hygiene certificate (Lv2) in place to use it. A Kitchen induction will be carried out.)
** We may request a deposit for some events and new activities **
CHANGES TO WEEKEND OPENING DAYS: From October 2025 only bookings on the last Sunday of each month will be considered. The hall is not available, however. Thank you.
Children’s Parties (NO Sunday bookings after September 2025 due to capacity)
Typically £26 – £35 per hour. A three hour booking includes the set-up and leaving time. An extension can be negotiated. As each party is unique so will be your arrangement with the Trust which must also retreive benefits in order to deliver its charitable aims and core activities. Please Email Marion:- aber.hub@gmail.com.
*The Centre is a managed community facility and therefore you will be met by a staff member at the start and end of the party.*
BOUNCY CASTLES: We still allow bouncy castles but there are some width and height restrictions. Many bouncy castle providers are familiar with the Centre. Height restrictions 4.5 – 4.9 metres.
WASTE TRANSFER FEE : £20 We ask all of our customers to take simple steps to avoid creating uneccesary waste and we would ask people to follow local practice on recycling cardboard/glass/plastics and food waste. Arrangements must be made in advance when you secure your booking.*There is no additional charge when you take everything off-site for recycling/disposal at your home, as you leave.
If you are hiring the space then we are pleased to provide cups/glasses upon request. A reasonable charge is made when hiring tableware as we run everything used through the dishwasher to keep standards high.
The Welcome Room contains a ‘kitchenette’ that’s available for small private gatherings. £15 – £20 per hour depending on use and tableware your booking requires. Please think about your requirements.
Functions/performances: Your event will be categorised as either small, medium or large. If you are offering refreshments there will be an upfront charge for use of the Kitchenette then, typically, £1.30 – £2.50 per person – according to use of tableware and dishwasher usage.
Customers will be asked to remove food waste & rinse items before placing them into the dishwasher.
