We provide a huge play area that includes 2 Bouncy Castles, one with slide, Soft Play Pods & Shapes, plus Bouncers, Inflatable Pitch and toddler area. It's a great space for running around and letting off some steam - especially when the weather outside's not so nice!

Exciting News!

Come along to the Bettridge Centre to find out more about our exciting new plans for redeveloping the centre. We're currently exhibiting the architect's drawings and plans in the main hallway and Small Hall and we welcome your ideas and suggestions.

We are in the very early stages of the development and we want to ensure that everyone's views are taken into account. This will help to ensure that what we do results in the best possible outcome for both the centre and the people who live in the area we serve.

We hope you will agree that this is a positive move which will enable us to secure a sustainable future for the centre so that it can continue at the heart of the community for many more years to come.

What's On

The next event at the centre is the Skateraw Fair dance with the fabulous Take This on 24th June.

For more details and how to book tickets, please see our What's On page.

We are currently working on our schedule for Summer @ the Bettridge - the lovely Critter Keeper will be returning in July and August! More information to follow very soon.

Vote For Us!

We have been shortlisted for a public vote in Tesco’s Bags of Help initiative! Please vote in the Newtonhill Tesco store during the months of MAY AND JUNE to help us secure a grant. Please ask for tokens if you aren't offered them.

Could you be a friend to the Bettridge Centre?

As we’re sure you all know, the Bettridge Centre has a Management Committee, and paid staff, however, there are maintenance works that need to be carried out which could end up costing us quite a lot of money.

That’s where YOU come in! Do you value our community-owned and run Centre enough to become a Friend? We have resurrected the Friends of the Bettridge group, which in the past, was a group of volunteers with the Centre’s best interests at heart, who were willing to give up a few hours here and there to do some painting, sell tickets at an event, maybe help tidy out some cupboards, build some shelves and other wee jobs.

Do you think you could be a Friend to the Bettridge Centre? If so - great! Each time we are running an event, or planning some maintenance works, we will post up a date and time, and let you know what help we need. For example, when running a film screening, we might need people to sell the tickets on the door, and someone to help man the Cafe. You can then pick and choose what you would like to help out with and how much time you’re happy to give.
