Events and visiting
Threshold is open for visitors by appointment. We also organise some special community events for work and play, at which it will be possible for some visitors to join us.
We have capacity for a few people to stay overnight. Also, visitors who live close enough by can come for the day to attend events.
It simplifies matters if all visitors come prepared to self-cater, using our communal kitchen. A communal meal may materialize, however, and sometimes a small donation suggested.
Each visitor will be asked for their mobile number, and will be put in touch with a “go-to” person – someone you can make contact with whilst en route, when you arrive, or while you are here, as necessary.
Please be sure to book (via info@thresholdcentre.org.uk) a reasonable time in advance.
Overnight rates are £20 single and £30 for two sharing.
