We love our Community

Group of people inside a decorated tent, smiling and engaging in conversation, with some standing and others seated, showcasing a lively and joyful atmosphere.

The Exchange is more than just a venue…

It’s a place where local groups, families, charities, and creative organisations can come together with affordable hire rates and welcoming support.

We’re proud to offer community-focused pricing to ensure our space remains accessible for projects, activities, and initiatives that make a real difference.
We believe in creating spaces where people can connect, grow, and thrive.
