Community Centres and Facilities


Colden Common Community CentreCommunity facilities play a vital role in our communities in helping to provide access to services and generally helping to meet communities' social, recreational, educational and welfare needs and reduce isolation, particularly in our rural areas.

Winchester District is served by a wide range of community facilities including Village Halls, Church Halls, Community Centres and other facilities such as Scout Huts and Pavilions. They offer a venue for hire or a programme of regular activities to suit many needs.
