Hartleyburn has one building which provides a large hall with stage area the room can be split into 2 rooms, Kitchen and the committee room for meetings / groups.
Since opening its doors, it has been a venue for a wide range of local community activities and events. These vibrant hubs are home to regular groups and activities with many sessions of activities taking place each week.

Clegwell & Hartleyburn Community Hubs have a number of rooms and areas that can be booked for activities.

Both Facilities have a large car park, including spaces for blue page holders. This area also has extensive gardens.
Carr Ellison Memorial park and land was given to the town for community purposes by the Carr Ellison family in thanks for their son returning safely from the first world war thus, Clegwell Community Centre was purpose built in 1976 and was extended over the years due to the needs of the community. Clegwell shares the site with the local Hebburn Comprehensive School.

Hartleyburn

Hartleyburn Community Centre was built in 1967, though, a Community building has existed on the site since 1954 when the surrounding housing estate was constructed. Until the establishment of the the CIO, it was managed by volunteers with its own Management Committee which included local councillors and groups who used the facility. The centre still has dedicated volunteers who work to ensure that residents are able to pursue their interests in a safe and welcoming environment.

Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the centre.
