Welcome to Palgrave & District Community Centre
Palgrave & District Community Centre (PDCC) is a registered local charity run entirely by a team of dedicated volunteer trustees, all of whom are local residents. Together, we manage the Centre, the playing field, and the children’s play area to offer a wide range of recreational and social opportunities for our community.
Unlike many similar facilities, we receive no public funding from local councils. Instead, we rely on membership subscriptions, hall hire, regular activity groups, and fundraising events to cover our running costs.
Why Join?
Our annual membership is just £10 and open to all adults in Palgrave and surrounding areas, including Diss. Members enjoy discounts to PDCC-run events, such as our monthly cinema nights, while also helping to support a vital local resource.
What’s On?
Throughout the year, we host:
-
Coffee mornings
-
Quiz nights
-
Open gardens
-
BBQs
-
Garage sales
Regular activities include:
-
Art and photography groups
-
Fitness and dance classes
-
Cribbage, carpet bowls, and meditation
-
Theatre and Ukulele groups
-
A Friendship Club and a children’s sports group
We’re also proud to welcome Palgrave Primary School pupils during term time.
The Community Club Bar
Open every Friday evening, our licensed Community Club bar is a social hub run by volunteers. It operates separately from PDCC, but members enjoy discounted drinks and a warm, friendly atmosphere.
Hire the Centre
Both the main hall and lounge are available for private functions, events, and meetings at very reasonable rates. Visit our contact and booking page to find out more.
Stay Connected
PDCC also publishes and distributes The Palgrave Star, a free monthly magazine delivered to every household in the village – and available online – to keep everyone up to date with village life.
We look forward to welcoming you and hope you’ll get involved in everything your Community Centre has to offer!
