Box Factory Community Centre
The Box Factory operates as a school of learning by day (9am – 4pm) for the University of the Third Age offering a series of courses, including politics, languages, philosophy and history, specifically aimed at those in 'active retirement'.
On evenings during weekdays (4pm – 9pm) and on Saturdays (10am – 3pm), we become a thriving community space with 5 flexible gathering spaces for groups to gather. Get creatively challenged or learn new skills with lots of courses to choose from.
