About St Wilfrid's Community Centre

St Wilfrid’s Community Centre was built as a school in Victorian times and was used as a nursery school for the parish of St Wilfrid’s until 2010.  Today the property is a Community Centre managed by a committee of volunteers, which is available for everyone in Ripon and the surrounding areas to use. The Centre is ideal for groups who are looking for a place to meet on a regular basis, or just as a one-off occasion for a celebratory party, a group meeting, or a band practice.

The Community Centre is made up of 3 accessible rooms which are available to hire, and a well equipped commercial kitchen adjoining the main hall. There are modern toilet facilities including baby change, a  Wi-Fi connection, an overhead projector and ample parking within the grounds.
