At the Coddenham Centre we are proud to make the very best of the facilities we offer.
When the charity acquired the premises in 2019 we found a very under utilised professional kitchen. We set out to make the most of it. Since 2020 that kitchen, based in Coddenham, near Ipswich in Suffolk has not only successfully supported regular private and public events, but helped several new and established businesses develop and nurture their creative cooking and food preparation. For the full story see our featured page .
Spacious inside and out
We have space galore at The Coddenham Centre for activities of all types and for all ages. Apart from the range already on offer, we invite clubs, new organisations, businesses and those just interested, to make use of our facilities. We’ll be happy to talk to you about your requirements, so whatever your preferences, need for professional guidance or just accessing our free outdoor gym, give us a try! If you are looking for an award winning community centre, event venue or village hall near Ipswich in Suffolk, then contact The Coddenham Centre.
