From Monday 27 April 2026, the Greenhouse Centre will be open to the public again, after being shut for renovations for the last five years!
The building was originally a 17th-century church left empty. However, it was brought back to life in 2018 and transformed into a thriving community hub where people could play, belong, and believe in themselves. But in 2021, serious structural issues forced it to close.
After a long, highly anticipated wait, the heart of the community will be open again from Monday 27 April 2026, returning at a time it’s needed most. After years of youth service cutbacks, the Centre reopens in one of the most deprived wards in the country, serving a densely populated, diverse community as a vibrant hub for learning, wellbeing, and connection.
The Centre will be open to all and free to those that need it most. There will be a wide range of activities, sessions and ways to get involved. These include women’s-only yoga classes, fitness sessions for over-50s, a table tennis drop-in club, alongside brand-new community areas, a learning hub for the young people and an on-site counsellor, available a few days a week for those more difficult conversations.
Built on the same ethos as Greenhouse Sports’ wider programmes, Coach-Mentors will be present daily, delivering sport, mentoring, building life skills and supporting young people and the community to create brighter futures.
