About Beth and The Paxton Centre

The Paxton Centre was set up as a community creative hub in Aug 2016. Here I was able to house on a permanent basis locally created art and craft which originated from my collaborative craft stall in the Crystal Palace Food Market in SE19 called 'Handmade Palace'. The vibrant arts space is also an outlet for others to sell their work, run workshops and classes as well as providing meeting and networking opportunities.

The centre is named after the original 'Paxton Arms Hotel', a beautiful building which served as a pub for 150 years and now runs under the ethos of building friendships, skill sharing and promoting a local economy while celebrating all things local.
