The Newman Community Centre




The Newman Community Centre (formerly the Carpenter's Arms) is owned and managed by the Catholic parish of St Nicholas, Boldmere.

It provides a valued service to the local community, hosting a wide range of community and private events.

It comprises three meeting rooms which are available for hire: 
  • a large main hall on the ground floor with capacity for up to 150 people
  • a smaller hall, again on the ground floor, with capacity for 60 people
  • an upper room, accessible only by a staircase, with a capacity for 20 people.

Each room has access to its own kitchen facilities.

​Toilets are located at the front and rear of the building.

The Centre has been closed for several months because of the Coronavirus crisis. We look forward to it slowly opening again - carefully observing all local and national safeguarding regulations.

Activities regularly hosted by the Newman Centre include social support groups; Parents and Toddler Rhythm Time group; Women's Institute; Martial Arts groups and Weight Watchers, in addition to social events (birthday parties etc)
Groups are returning in line with the Government roadmap, relevant permissions, and as they feel ready to return.
