Venue and Minibus Hire

VENUE
How to find us
The venue is 3 miles from J47 of the A1(M), around the corner from the 1C bus stop and a 15 minute walk by public footpath (or 5 minute taxi ride) from Knaresborough train station. It is adjacent to the King George playing field and public footpath. There is parking available at the centre and on Halfpenny Close and Halfpenny Lane. There are many small hotels and B&Bs available in the area. Click here for a list of accommodation in the area.

A new platform lift has been installed so that people with disabilities can access the facilities on the first floor. There are plenty of folding 6' long tables and chairs.

A Powerpoint projector, screen, laptop, DVD player, overhead projector and flipcharts are available for your use.

The venue is available for full day hire on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and for hourly rental during select times on the remaining weekdays. It is also available all day during school holiday periods.

Ground Floor Studio

The 1000 square foot ground floor studio is a bright open space with a cathedral ceiling, skylights and wood flooring. There is a small refrigerator and coffee/tea facilities at the back of the studio.

The studio can be set up for training courses/conferences with 6' long tables and chairs, or left empty for physical activity events like dance and exercise sessions. Thanks to a generous grant from WREN, there is ceiling hoisting for wheelchair users to get down to exercise mats on the floor.

Off the studio are disabled toilet facilities, a water cooler and a storage area with exercise mats, blocks, belts, fitness balls and blankets.

The studio can be hired for £20 an hour or £120 for the whole day. We offer a 33% discount for BWY (British Wheel of Yoga) courses and events run by the BWY regional committee.

1st Floor

The WREN funding has allowed a complete renovation upstairs with 3 new toilet/changing rooms, one of which is a very large disabled toilet and shower room complete with ceiling hoist. Across from the lift, there is a sitting area where clients can wait for their therapy appointments.

Studio/Meeting Room

Again, thanks to WREN, this room has been enlarged and it is no longer a throughway to the toilets and changing facilities. It can be used as a 2nd studio for small classes (up to 8 yoga mats), a meeting room for up to 24 people theatre style or up to 18 people at tables. There is a kitchenette with sink, built-in fridge, built-in freezer, microwave and plenty of glasses, crockery and cutlery. There is also a 2-ring electric hob and 2 slow cookers. A bamboo screen can be put up to mask the kitchen area.

£9 an hour
Available days, evenings and weekends!

Therapy/Treatment Room

The Treatment/Therapy Room is next to the Disabled WC/shower room and has its own hand basin, dressing area, massage couch, sound system. There is an X-Y ceiling hoist for wheelchair users to access the massage couch. Downstairs reception is manned Mon-Fri from 9-5:30. Day rate or block hire fee based on number of hours booked can be negotiated.

Available Mon-Fri 5-9 pm for £20 per evening.

Special Fitness Room

Behind a removable curtain in the Therapy Room is a range of WREN-funded physiotherapy equipment for people with disabilities, including those enrolled on our Fit4Health programme. Once users have received induction training on the equipment, the room can be hired by the hour for groups of 2-3 people. There is a Tilt Table and MotoMed for wheelchair users, plus a new Balancemaster, remedial parallel bars, treadmill, chi machine, height measurer and Tanita body composition monitor.

MINIBUS

    

The new 16-seater Mercedes Sprinter minibus has been converted so that it can transport up to 6 wheelchair users. When all 6 wheelchair spaces are needed, there are 4 passenger seats left. It has two sunroofs which makes the interior light and airy. There is also a reversing camera. The bus can be hired by the day or half-day by other not-for-profit groups who are needing to transport people with disabilities. Our insurance covers any driver from 21-70 who has D1 on their licence.
