The Kelsick Centre in St Mary’s Lane is at the heart of village life as well as being the administrative centre of the Kelsick Educational Foundation. It provides a spacious, comfortable and convenient venue on the level in the centre of Ambleside, only 100m from King Street car park, with on-street disc parking nearby and three parking spaces in front of the building.
The space consists of the Kelsick Hall and the smaller Cumpstone Meeting Room with adjoining kitchen on the ground floor. Toilets are located downstairs at both ends of the building including fully disabled access and additional facilities.
Many groups have been happily accommodated by the Kelsick over many years, and the large hall is transformed annually into a theatre for Ambleside Players’ productions. It is also an ideal venue for public meetings and presentations, fitness and dance classes, children’s parties, coffee mornings and concerts.
The hall, which has a public entertainment licence, accommodates up to 100 people, or 75 seated at tables, has a sealed wooden sprung floor, high quality lighting and is acoustically modified.
Smaller groups use the ground-floor Cumpstone Room which accommodates up to 18 seated around table. This quiet room is ideal for business/ board meetings, workshops, and interviews and has internet and a large screen monitor.
Both the main hall and Cumpstone room have access to the kitchen, which is equipped with a sink, fridge, microwave, water boiler, dishwasher, large thermos, crockery and cutlery.
