Our Community Centre
Annadale Community Centre is situated in the heart of the Annadale and Haywood community. We’re located just off the Ormeau Road, with the beautiful Ormeau Park just minutes away to one side, and the Lagan River to the other.
After many years of operating out of a small downstairs flat, Annadale and Haywood Residents’ Association is proud to now have our very own purpose-built centre which was completed in 2017.
Since then, we’ve gone from strength-to-strength and continue to grow in line with our community’s needs. Our extensive youth programme includes youth clubs, homework club, summer schemes and residential trips away. We hold a twice-weekly Men’s Shed bowling club and a weekly Community Cafe. And our Senior Citizens group, whose extensive range of activities proves that age is no barrier to adventure!
Annadale Community Centre is also available to hire so whether you’re looking for somewhere to host a community group in south Belfast, put on exercise classes or hold a meeting, get in touch with us today to find out more. Of course, we’d also be delighted to play host for your special occasion – from christenings to birthday parties and bouncy castle parties, we’re ready when you are!
