Unit 21, Viables Craft Centre, The Harrow Way, Basingstoke, Hampshire RG22 4BL

With the help of volunteers from Barclays Bank, the Viables Community Centre re-opened in September 2007 following a three month refurbishment. Since then, our Parent and Toddler Group has celebrated a donation from the Four Lanes Trust, and Eli Lilly has kindly donated the income from their ‘jeans’ day in September. We welcomed mayors and their wives from across Hampshire for the Mayor’s Civic Day in October, and hosted a successful Craft Fair in November, despite pouring rain.

The Centre is managed by the Viables Community Association, and is used most days of the week by regular clubs. Its facilities can also be hired for private events.

View information about the hall, the online diary, booking rates, and terms and conditions, and details of some of our regular bookings and activities.

A location map can be found here. Alternatively use one of the menu options at the top or bottom of every page for more detailed maps.
