The Chantry Centre

The Chantry Centre is a community venue in Dursley offering rooms and outdoor space for private celebrations, weddings, business gatherings and local events. Its principal space, the Lister Hall, can accommodate up to 300 guests and has a stage, a sprung dance floor, lighting, a PA system and a large screen with projector. Organisers can choose raised or flat seating, making the hall suitable for dinners, parties, performances, conferences and other gatherings.

For smaller occasions, the Centenary Lounge provides a more intimate room for meetings, parties, christenings and wakes. The Garden Room and the Centre's garden add further options, including space for outdoor gatherings, barbecues and events using the garden marquee. The venue also has a licensed bar, available as an addition to selected bookings. Hirers can bring in their own caterers, subject to prior arrangement for hot food, as the Centre offers only limited catering itself.

Couples can enquire about exclusive use of the Centre for a wedding reception, including the Lister Hall, lounge, Garden Room and garden. There is also a smaller wedding option using the skittles alley and nearby bar. Children's party bookings can include bouncy castle and soft play equipment, while other optional hire items include disco lighting and sound equipment, and a projector and screen for the Lister Hall.

The Chantry Centre is run as a charitable community facility, and room hire is available for both local groups and wider commercial use. Its range of rooms, practical equipment and flexible hire options gives event planners a choice of settings for gatherings of different sizes in central Dursley.
