The Paxton Centre was set up as a community creative hub in Aug 2016 by Beth who continues to run the Centre full time and also teaches our Pottery workshops. This unique business was her 10 year vision in the making proving if you follow your dreams and aspirations they can come true. Here she combined her art and craft business ‘Handmade Palace’ and her pottery workshops.

‘If you build it they will come’ has been the experience as many creatives from all disciplines have collaborated over the years to be part of this vibrant exciting arts space. Our artist lead creative workshops offer the opportunity to learn a new skill and enjoy the benefits of creativity for well being. In our gallery we offer monthly exhibitions to London based artists and art groups. We host regular local musicians and world music gigs plus a monthly comedy night. During the week you can come and hotdesk in our busy co working space or enjoy locally sourced food and drinks from our licensed cafe 7 days a week. That’s not all the Centre is available for private venue hire for celebrations, parties or meetings.

The centre is named after the original 'Paxton Arms Hotel', a beautiful building which served as a pub for 160 years and now runs under our ethos of building friendships, skill sharing and promoting a local economy while celebrating all things local.
