Ferrybridge Community Centre

An integral part of community life in the village for almost thirty years, Ferrybridge Community Centre was opened in 1972.  

It was in 1969 that a group of local people began a collection with the aim of constructing a community centre and together with funding from the local council, Ferrybridge Community Centre, together with a similar centre on Warwick Estate, were duly opened.  Although the centre on Warwick Estate has since been demolished, the Ferrybridge centre continues to provide a venue for a varied selection of activities throughout each month.

Recent years have seen improvements made to the building and despite constant problems from the flat roof and from the building itself being the target of vandalism, the members of the centre have managed to sustain it in remarkably good condition.

Last year, the centre's management committee took on the long and difficult procedure of applying for Lottery funding to cover major improvement work including an extension to accommodate a stage area.  With the help of Wakefield Metropolitan District Council Regeneration Department, they now have some plans put forward and are awaiting cost figures.

As previously mentioned, the centre caters for a variety of events and interests and we list below the current schedule together with the person responsible for each group.

For further information about any of the centre's activities please contact the relevant person at the following address: -
