We are a social enterprise community centre based in the town park in Listowel. We have a gymnasium and a large sports hall in addition to an exercise suite and office space that we let out. We are a busy centre catering for the wider community through memberships, children's parties, exercise classes and more recently a host to many large scale events and shows including fashion shows, comedians, craft fairs and festivals.
