Community Rooms available to Let Does your group or club need a new meeting space? Perhaps your group is too big now for the room you meet in, or your club wants to change which night to meet but your present space doesn’t have any other availability. Maybe you are thinking of starting a new interest group, craft or other activity and wondering where you could meet? We are Livingston Village Community Education Centre Association And we have 4 rooms (1 Sports Hall, 1 large with Kitchen facilities, 1 medium and 1 small suitable for meetings) which are available for hire as long lets. As a community facility we are particularly interested in hearing from groups providing activities that would be of interest to our local community and that they would be invited to join. Any group fitting this criteria would benefit from a very favourable annual rate that reflects its benefit to our local community.
