Kelson Community Centre is a community-run venue at 5a Timaru Grove in Kelson, Lower Hutt. It overlooks the Hutt Valley, and it has been a community venue for about thirty years. The centre was built in the early 1980s on a section gifted to the community by a local family.
The centre is available for hire for birthday parties, classes, meetings, fundraisers, guest speakers, church groups, theatre groups and corporate functions. It hosts quiz and bingo evenings, fairs, and a regular playgroup. Hire rates are described as very reasonable, and the Venue Hire page has details. The centre has fresh curtains and good access to outside areas.
The centre is run by a volunteer committee, the Kelson Community Association, with a part-time coordinator and cleaner. The committee meets at the centre on the third Wednesday of each month at 7:30pm, and newcomers are welcome to attend without any obligation to join.
The centre is about an eight-minute drive from the Lower Hutt CBD and twenty minutes from Wellington.
