In 2008 the Crow Edge Community Centre has been re-named ‘The parish Community Centre’ to strengthen the message that this centre is a facility for the whole of the Dunford Parish (and surrounding area). We are hoping that this will encourage more people within the locality to support it and to use it.
The Centre boasts a large hall (capacity 100), kitchen, side room, small stage, fully licensed bar and approximately 3 acres of field, which can be hired out either separately or together.
Over the last few years the DPCA has undertaken a programme of upgrading the Centre , including:
A new roof
A new ceiling (funded by a grant from the Yorkshire Rural Community Council)
A refurbished kitchen
External repainting
Repaintiing of the toilets
Upgraded lighting
A state of the art disco and PA sound sytem
The DPCA continues to work to further improve the facilities. Subject to obtaining the necessary funding, these will include improvments to the car parking area, replacement of windows, the provision of picnic tables etc.
Anybody who has not been to the Centre for a few years, will be amazed at the transformation!
Regular users of the centre include:
Dunford Parish Community Association
Dunford Parish Council
Dunford Parish Residents Association
Dunford Parish Senior Citizens Association
A Wednesday senior citizens club
A youth Club every Friday night
The Huddersfield Model Aircraft Club – can often be seen flying their gliders in the field
Various caravan clubs
Pony clubs
It is also used on a regular basis for public meetings.

We are always looking for new ideas and people to hire/use the centre and if you have a need we would be delighted to hear from you and discuss your requirements. The DPCA meetings are held on a monthly basis and any ideas/requests for use can be brought to any meeting, simply come along, the date of the next meeting is 27th May at 7.00 p.m.
Obviously the centre does not run itself and we are reliant on funding from either hiring of the centre or the support of the local community at our events.
