Tutors, instructors, and hobby group leaders are invited to register their interest and find out more about the rooms available for hire at the Elleray Centre early this autumn.

The new venue will feature a good-sized hall that can be divided into two entirely separate rooms, two additional large rooms and several smaller spaces, especially suitable for one-on-one therapy and counselling sessions.

There will also be a coffee bar, a lounge and a terrace overlooking the garden.

The entire centre will be wheelchair accessible and is conveniently located near local bus routes from Kingston, Richmond, Hampton and Twickenham.

A large public car park is situated directly opposite. Room hire rates are very competitive, and special offers are available.

The centre will be run for the benefit of the entire community by a local charity, Elleray Community Association.

The charity's Chairman, Joan Barnett, said: "Our vision is to make this a vibrant community centre, a home to a range of classes, activities, clubs and events that will mean that there is something for just about everyone living in and around Teddington."

Elleray Community Association is keen to hear from anyone who needs space to host their activity or event.

If you are interested, you can email the charity at [email protected] or call 020 8977 0549.
