The Birchmeadow is a community, events, and meetings Centre, which is owned by the Town and managed by its own Committee.

It hosts a wide range of groups and activities, and is available for both private and commercial hire.

Working with its user groups, “The Birch” offers a range of presentation and entertainment facilities, with a range of rooms for different kinds of function. There is a small kitchen area that can be used for providing light refreshments.

If a licensed bar is needed, we can provide a very nice one, along with our own experienced staff. We can provide draught “real ale” or higher quality wines if required.

Thanks to the fact that our user-groups include our local Cinema, amateur theatrical group, and the town's Broadplace Club, users can have access to a wide range of audio, visual, and computer equipment for use in running presentations, teaching & training, and entertainments & parties.

We hold licences for live music and other types of performances, and have links to a number of local bands and musicians, of varying styles.

And of prime importance, we have car parking space.
