Woodhouse Community Centre offers a range of rooms for hire of varying sizes, suitable for many different activities and events. There is wi-fi internet access throughout the building and all rooms are networked to the building-wide phone system, making communication with reception and other rooms easy. The building entrance is fully accessible from the street, and all first floor rooms are accessible by lift, with disabled-accessible toilets on the ground floor. On-street parking is available near the centre, which is also easily accessible by public transport (appx. 2 miles from Leeds Rail Station; 1 mile from Burley Park rail station; busses 1, 6, 28, 51, 55, 56, and 97 stopping within ½ mile).
Flexible furniture throughout the building makes it possible to arrange each room to suit users’ needs. We can also provide refreshments and some ICT equipment for hourly bookings - please ask for prices when making your booking.
All first-floor office spaces are accessible by lift as well as stairs. All tenants benefit from the use of a tea bar and shower on the first floor, and all rooms are networked to the building-wide telephone and data systems. Though the first-floor toilet facilities are not disabled-accessible, accessible toilets downstairs are easily reached by lift. Rent includes rates and utilities, and direct-dial phone and internet connection through the building-wide network is possible for a negotiable additional monthly charge.

| The Doreen Tinker room is a bright ground-floor space with the option of opening a serving hatch through to the full-size kitchen next door. The solid, lockable hatch doors keep noise and smells from the kitchen to a minimum if the two spaces are being used for separate activities - so the Doreen Tinker room makes a great classroom, meeting room or activity room in its own right, or a convenient space for serving food and drinks prepared in the kitchen if desired. It’s also possible to project onto a plain wall in this room. |

| The Ushawant Kaur room is a versatile first-floor space, accessible by lift and lit by south-facing windows. The ‘Usha’ room is made up of a large main space - suitable for classes, activity sessions, training, or meetings - plus a smaller, separate space adjoining within the room which makes a great break-out space or session room if needed. The Usha room is served by multiple power and data sockets making it particularly well-suited for activities requiring ICT equipment, as well as having a white wall suitable for projection. Small toilets are available on the first floor with accessible toilets downstairs easily reached by lift.
This space would also make an excellent large office with an adjoining meeting space or small office for long-term let - it would be well-suited as a multi-workstation office for a large organisation or a group of hot-deskers. The internally adjoining small room would make an excellent self-contained meeting area, session space or separate small office. Visitors at the front entrance can ring the bell and communicate directly via intercom when reception is not staffed. |
