With funding secured from an Ecclesiastical ‘Movement for Good Award’ the former IT Hub is being transformed into a serviced social space to meet the needs of our community. The Langley Room will become the latest addition to the growing venue hire portfolio at the Linskill Centre and will be complete and operational by March (restrictions permitting) for the booking of meetings, groups and social functions.

Equipped with the audio-visual, video and conferencing facilities the room has a capacity of 32 (16 with social distancing) dependent upon room layout. With modular furniture this versatile space can easily be adapted for a range of uses including board room, classroom, meeting, workshop or social gathering.

Interconnecting doors into Cafe 32 will enable the capacity of this room to be nearly doubled and lend itself to larger events and activities, where a catering/breakout area or larger space is required. The Langley Room will also provide additional capacity for Cafe 32 during busy period and social functions.

This versatile space with industry standard fixture and fittings, acoustic bafflers, adaptable lighting, audio loop and original parquet flooring is sure to prove popular with both existing and new customers looking for a meeting room or venue for their event.

For more information or advance booking please call 0191 257 8000 or email info@linskill.org

For example on Wednesday 18th November the prompt will be ‘something red’ – maybe your photograph would be a letter box or a poppy or your red trainers!

During lockdown the engAGE Woollies made a real effort to keep in contact through weekly ZOOM sessions and came up with an idea for a joint project called ‘Linskill in Wool’. The volunteers identified a particular community activity held at the Linskill Centre and recreated in a crochet or knitted 6″ square. Then the Shedders volunteers showcased their engineering skills and mounted the finished artwork on the wall opposite the sensory garden, where there is lots of space for socially distanced viewing.
