The Village Community Centre

At Bryndwr

About Bryndwr

The Community Centre has been operating on our Bryndwr site for nearly 30 years. It was originally being operated as the St Stephen’s Community Centre as part of St Stephen’s Church. St Stephen’s became part of The Village when it formed in 2014. We love being part of this community and doing our bit in making this area of our city a great place to be. Check out what’s on below!

What’s on at Bryndwr

Clothing Shop

The Second-hand Clothing Shop operates from the refurbished hall building on Friday afternoons from 2:00 – 5:00pm & Saturday mornings from 9:30am – 12noon. There is a wide variety of good quality, clean and tidy, used clothing and footwear; available for men, women and children. Some bedding is also available. Most articles are priced from $1 – $5. Come in and browse, we would love to see you!

Preschool Music @ Bryndwr

We run a pre-school music & play group weekly (during primary school term time) Wednesdays at 10am (plus another group at Papanui on Mondays 9:30 called Music Moments). These groups are ideal places to meet other parents & introduce little people to music & movement. Over the last 25 years, we have had many parents bring their babies & toddlers along where they can enjoy watching them find their rhythm & grow in confidence in a group setting. The cost is $3 per family.

Foot Clinic

Every six weeks throughout the year, we host our popular foot clinic, which is designed to assist people who are struggling to tend to their feet. A friendly community has developed over the last 20 years. Feet are soaked, toenails are trimmed, followed by a soothing foot massage. We offer a cuppa and home baking. Places are limited, bookings are essential and volunteers are welcome. A generous Koha helps us to ensure a high standard of care.

Indoor Bowls

The Village Bowls Group meets on Monday evenings from 7.15pm from mid- March to early October. This fine group of people enjoy one another’s company and warmly welcome new members. Tuition can be provided. Soft-soled footwear is essential!
