The Building

The building is at the corner of Dromore Road and Garden Street and is adjacent to the Medical Centre and the Primary School. The building was formerly used as the Gatehouse School, and in 1985 it was taken over by the local community.

The building has recently undergone major refurbishment and provides space for a wide range of community events, for use by community groups and for meetings.
