The Paxton Centre is a collective creative meeting space in Crystal Palace. We offer a place for artists, designers and makers to promote and sell their work in our shop and on our artist gallery wall space.
Our timetable of artist lead classes will offer a range of craft interest for adults, children and groups. The space is also available to hire to hold your community meeting, workshop or small event!
In our vibrant café you will find excellent food and of course coffee where you can sit and enjoy the view in our friendly space or take away!
Brace! Brace! Coffee Post Klaxon:
Cheered to get 60p reduction today on a latte to go, at Brown and Green on Triangle, using a reusable cup (also bought locally at Roots & Cycles at Crystal Palace Food Market).
Which other local cafes offer a reduction?

Reduced by 50 p for own reusable cups. We have paper straws in now! #gettingthere " - Momentum building :) These groups can do good :)

I just posted the longest link ever! Beth Mander at the Paxton Centre runs 6 week courses at various levels. I just finished 6 weeks. Lots of fun and a great space to learn and it's very relaxed! She's running more starting now.
Any recommendations for evening art classes? I'd like one that's tutored rather than, for example, a life drawing session where you're left to get on with it. Bonus points for ones that's drop in style, rather than a block booking

Hi there are many courses at https://www.facebook.com/1164792496895934 The Paxton Centre and one off classes like Screen Printing this Sunday. I run pottery courses which start again next month in the evenings and group Sat afternoon pottery workshops. All our creative classes can be found in our events FB page.
Can anyone recommend a venue on the Triangle or nearby to hire for a 30th birthday? We want to bring our own band and would need space for 50-60 people...

Hi we do them at https://www.facebook.com/1164792496895934 The Paxton Centre on a weekend afternoon. They take place on the mezzanine space so the events are private. Not large numbers though max 20.
