Make new friends, try something new - have space to chill. Join in with fun activities and projects.
We particularly encourage the involvement of young people at the centre and we offer reduced rates for youth activities and parties.
York House has rooms for hire including:-
- Main Hall (approx 100 people) with bar area, kitchen and ample parking - popular for parties, events and club meetings (reduced rates for children’s parties)
- Rooms for meetings, functions, workshops and classes (various sizes)
- The Space - a soundproofed music rehearsal room with PA system and tea & coffee making facilities.
We also have a keen and friendly group of Fundraising Volunteers who hold Coffee Mornings and other fundraising events and carry out minor maintenance / building improvement projects. Every year in February and September we hold the Cock & Bull Real Beer Festival which is always a roaring success and raises much-needed funds. We are always looking for new Volunteers, all welcome!
In line with our charitable objectives we aim to attract a diverse range of arts activities to the building. York House Centre is the home of the Stony Stratford Lantern Project, an annual community project to make lanterns for the procession at the Stony Stratford Christmas Lights Switch-On Day. Other arts activities include events for The Big Draw, annual Young Pavement Artist Competition and Stony Stratford Arts Society.
The Grade II Listed Building dates from c.1850 and has recently undergone major underpinning repairs (funded by WREN, MK Community Foundation and SEEDA), the installation of a new rear door (funded by Grantscape), disabled toilet and baby changing unit (funded by MK Community Foundation) and electrical work (funded by Stony Stratford Town Council).
We were delighted to discover recently that we have won an Ecominds Lottery Grant. Work is starting soon to transform part of our grounds into a Community Gardens Project. Ecominds funds environmental projects that help people with experience of mental distress get involved in local green activities to improve confidence, self-esteem and physical health. The project is also open to local community groups who can develop their own plot to grow fruit and vegetables. If you think your group would be interested in this project then please get in touch.
If you think York House Centre would be suitable for your party, event or meeting, you would like to get involved with any of our projects or as a Volunteer please phone (01908) 563361 or check out our new website at www.york-house.org.uk to find out what’s on.
