The Madeley Centre is a well-equipped community centre in the heart of the rural village of Madeley in North Staffordshire.  The building has a 200-seater main hall with stage, sound and lighting systems.  There are 4 smaller rooms for hire for meetings, activities and groups.  There is a Rural Hub where organisations can rent a ‘Hot-Desk’ and an Internet Café where locals can get on-line to pick up emails, research and complete homework or just surf.

Why not come along and visit us between 8.00 a.m. and 7.00 p.m. to view the facilities?  You can hire rooms, use the internet or enjoy something to eat in the restaurant.  The site is run mainly by a team of dedicated volunteers with the support of centre Manager, Janet Simpson.

Besides all the activities arranged by local groups, there are also a number of public events such as film shows, dance, music and theatre performances and enjoyable social functions planned at the centre.

‘Flavours at The Madeley Centre’ is our catering facility run by brothers Nick and Simon Marren.  They have a restaurant on site for meals from 8.00 a.m. until the centre closes in the evenings and an area of softer seating where you can enjoy a coffee and try one of their delicious cakes whilst meeting with your friends for a chat.  They are happy to cater for any functions you organise including, weddings, parties, fund-raising events and music events as well as providing coffees, teas and snacks for users of the various rooms.
