About this venue
A community centre in Paignton with a large ballroom, meeting rooms, snooker room and skittle alley. The official site advertises meeting rooms for hire and lists parties, weddings, christenings, funerals and music/disco uses. Its member advice page says ballroom hire is for members; confirm membership eligibility and current hire terms with the centre. A community newsletter reported a basic room-hire price in 2009 only, so current rates should be requested directly.
