I had to send this to our groups, charities who use our space last week. Now we have told them we can share to our wider community. We’ve also reassured bookings in place they will be honoured. In fact, add more! Fill the place as much as possible. Do what we can, with what we have, for as long as we can.

Hear how one of our amazing volunteers, Isla, came to be involved with the Phoenix Cultural Centre and the significant impact that young people have had on shaping and enriching the venue’s community spirit.

Phoenix Cultural Centre CIC is proudly featured in an important exhibition launched at the Houses of Parliament on 1 September - the Museum of Broken Dreams.

Amidst our break in, last week we also got to celebrate our nomination for the King's Award for Voluntary Service. We were nominated by @SurreyMinorityEthnicForum a great charity who do incredible work for inclusion and opportunity for its 40+ member groups in Surrey.

Sadly, another break in today. All our doors and some windows were smashed.

Woking venue declared ‘Most Dedicated Community Arts Venue 2024 - South East England’.

Newly re-opened Phoenix Cultural Centre, on Goldsworth Road in Woking, has been honoured for its work as a Community Arts Venue.

We are looking for people who want to support their local community, enjoy the variety that working in a community led arts & cultural space brings and support our values and work ethic.

As we reopen we will need to increase our current ‘small but mighty’ volunteer team.

Our Aims – What the Phoenix Centre is about.
To provide a live music, cultural and grassroots arts venue in Woking.
