Housed in a striking neo-Gothic former parish hall, Birch Community Centre is a hidden gem on Brighton Grove, just opposite Platt Fields Park. Its vaulted wooden ceiling and arched windows make it an atmospheric setting for arts events, from award-winning touring theatre to live music and storytelling. With a year-round programme spanning yoga to experimental performance, Birch is where community spirit meets creative flair.
