Telegraph Hill Centre

Telegraph Hill Centre (
) is self-​funded venue, it receives no funding from local authorities. As such, every penny Telegraph Hill Centre makes from hire charges, goes back into maintaining and improving the building. I’ve hosted five events at the Centre and each time have received a great deal of practical help and advice from its team.
Telegraph Hill Centre has a large main hall with a raised stage. There is also a proper kitchen tucked away to one side of the main hall which could be used to serve food and drinks. Its a great space for a theatrical event, a party, or a music gig and can accomodate up to 200 people standing, 100 seated, or up to 60 if you’re opting for ‘cabaret’ style seating around tables (this comes from practical experience from hosting events there).
The second largest space at Telegraph Hill Centre is known as ‘The Lounge’, this offers a flexible rectangular space to accomodate an event for up to 40 people standing or around 25 seated. This also has a screened off food serving/​bar space with sinks, hot water and the like.
The Centre has spaces available to hire from as little as £10 an hour. Though most spaces are fairly bare, they can be dressed up with a little imagination the bareness offers a blank template to work from I guess.
There are ladies and gents toilets as well as a disabled loo which is wheelchair accessible. You can access the building on the level so for those with mobility problems, access is possible.
Telegraph Hill Centre will soon be refurbished so I imagine things will only get better. The 3 stars are because I think a refurb is needed, and would take it to a 4 star venue easily. I gather there are plans to install a lift so that the upper floors can be made more accessible.
There are 2 members of staff who can help and they are usually contactable between 10.30am and 2pm. Details of the venue, what goes on there and how to contact them are availble from the Telegraph Hill Centre website
