Our main space is flexible with good disabled access. It is home to a wide variety of groups and activities. This includes children’s classes, craft clubs, fundraising events, educational talks and exhibitions such as last year’s North Eastern Open Studios (NEOS) event. We would like to keep growing the number of people who use the Bothy so if you want to use it for your business, class, meeting or after sport session please get in touch. We can be contacted by email, phone or through our online booking form.
