Nestled on Lake Street, just a mile from Oxford's bustling city centre and looking out over the popular Hinksey Park, the South Oxford Community Centre is housed in a charming Victorian building. It's a hive of activity, managed by the dedicated South Oxford Community Association, a charity committed to serving its local community. The centre proudly hosts the thriving South Oxford Farmers Market every Sunday morning, offering a chance to browse local produce and connect with suppliers. Regulars and newcomers alike can enjoy a variety of groups and classes, from art events and exhibitions organised by South Oxford Arts to a weekly community café operating on Tuesdays and Thursdays, perfect for a friendly chat over a cuppa. You'll also find bingo on Wednesdays and even a Community Fridge, an initiative to reduce food waste.
The centre offers a diverse range of activities catering to all ages and interests, including Hinksey Sculling sessions held throughout the week and various martial arts and yoga groups for both children and adults. Recently, it has become home to the Hinksey Park Community Larder, a valuable resource providing affordable food and fostering community engagement. With several rooms available for hire at reasonable prices, it's an ideal venue for family occasions, group meetings, exercise classes, or training seminars. The historic building, which once served as Oxford's waterworks, has been thoughtfully updated to include accessible facilities, ensuring a welcoming space for everyone.
