Coastal Play is a children's soft play area for children aged toddler to 10 (height restrictions will apply and take precedence over age). 

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! 

Coastal Café is a seating area within the hall where parents can see children at all times while enjoying a coffee and snack.

AGM and
Re-development Project
Consultation

Our Annual General Meeting will be held next Tuesday 21st May at 7.30pm in the lounge.
As usual there will be cheese and wine - and also a chance to have your say about the future of the Bettridge Centre. Everyone is welcome - whether or not you're a local resident or centre user.

Join us to help celebrate the successes of the past year and to look forward to an equally successful future. We would encourage everyone interested in the development of the centre to attend the AGM and make their voices heard.

Once the AGM is concluded, we're looking forward to a brief presentation by Community Enterprise, the company which is helping us carry out a feasibility study looking at the best way to develop the centre going forward. This study is building on our original thoughts about creating more space in the garage and looking at how the whole centre might be made into a better space for the community.

The presentation will be followed by a consultation exercise designed to gather views and opinions and encourage debate about the best way forward. The meeting won't take long, but will help us make the right decisions about the centre's future, so we would encourage everyone to attend if possible.

If you can't come along, we still need your input via a new survey - it's a bit more detailed than the last one, but will still only take a few minutes of your time to fill in. Here's a link to it online or you can pick up a printed version from the centre if you'd prefer. You're also more than welcome to visit, email or call us and let us know your views directly.

The Bettridge Centre is here to provide a valuable and much-needed service to our community and it's very important we know what the community wants us to provide.

​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.
