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.

Testimonial
We recently held our wedding reception at the centre. Gail was amazing right from the start. She guided us, advised us and adapted the plan for us to ensure we had the perfect day. The hall had room for our 60 guests with ease.
The kitchen is spacious and has everything you need to offer a good meal to party or wedding guests. We catered with a buffet ourselves and hired a mobile bar for the evening. We had the drapes put up for us and the tables and chairs set out for a little extra but it was great value for money.
The hall looked beautiful once we added our decorations. We had needed to choose a new venue after changing our wedding date and we couldn’t be happier with the choice we made.
