Welcome to the Palgrave and District Community Centre
Palgrave Community Centre is run by an elected Trustee Committee, all Trustees of the Charity. The running of the Centre is all paid for out of Community Centre funds, which are raised by membership subscription, and hiring out for private events, together with various fundraising activities. Membership gives you reductions on events put on by the Centre.
All members of the PDCC Trustee Committee are volunteers, who give up their time to plan and hold various events at the centre that we hope people will be interested in.
There are regular activities in the building including Film Nights, Crib, Bowls, Table Tennis, Drumming, The Friendship Club, Martial Arts, Dancing and exercise classes etc. The hall can also be let for private parties and meetings at a charge lower than most in the area.
If you wish to book or enquire about prices please go to our Contact/Booking area.
During the year there are several events organised with the aim of getting the village people together; Spring Fayre; Summer Fete; Organised walks; Quizzes; Fireworks; Christmas Dinner; Coffee Mornings; Dinner Talks with local celebrities and experts; Demonstrations and lots more.
We produce the monthly magazine, The Palgrave Star, which is still delivered locally and available online.

Film Night- Downton Abbey
The film continues the storyline from the series, with much of the original cast returning.
As the Royal staff descend on Downton, an assassin has also arrived and attempts to kill the monarch. The family and servants are pitted against the royal entourage, including the Queen's lady-in-waiting, who has fallen out with the Crawleys, especially the Dowager Countess, over an inheritance issue.

VE Day Anniversary Celebrations- May 8th -10th 2020
August 25, 2019
The PDCC are considering holding special events over the Bank Holiday Weekend in May 2020, to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of VE Day.
Initial planning includes a Fancy Dress “Street Party” with 1940’s themed food and music; Fireworks, Bell Ringing; Exhibitions of photographs and themed artwork and a Bar-b-Que. As this is a village event, we have started conversations with the Parish Council, School and Church to bring together all the organisations to make it as special as we can.
We will need as much help as possible and are looking for both ideas for more events and activities and volunteers to help organise and help during the weekend.
If you have any thoughts on what should be included or you want to put your name forward to help, please get in touch. Phil Dyer 650479 or email – phildyer2114@gmail.com

Comment from a recent presenter:
"It was a pleasure to have such a responsive bunch- you're doing a great job keeping events happening in little ole Palgrave! The screen and projection is something else for a village hall"
