ABOUT US

Mudeford Wood Community Centre was opened in the 1980’s by Christchurch Borough council (now BCP).

Unfortunately, it was set for closure in 2009, which set in motion the local residents to create Friends of Mudeford Wood in an attempt to save the centre.

The friends of Mudeford wood were successful in saving the centre in proving it was a valuable resource to the community.

In August 2010, Friends of Mudeford wood formed into Mudeford Wood Community Trust, an incorporated charity and took over management of the centre, leasing it from the Council.

In April 2012 the Trust became responsible for the day to day running of the centre, with continued support from the council.

Mudeford Wood Community Centre is set within the heart of community, just a short distance from both Christchurch and Highcliffe, surrounded by woodland walks and the River Mude and adjacent to a large recreational ground and children’s playground.

The Centre has been extensively modernised over the past 13 years, creating a clean, safe and vibrant space for the local community.

Our motto is ‘something for everyone’ and we really do have a fantastic range of clubs, classes, and educational facilities for all ages and abilities to enjoy.

The Centre consists of a large main sports hall, 2 other rooms, preschool suite as well as a large kitchen. Our facilities can be hired out on a regular basis or for private parties, functions and celebrations.

Outside the Centre we have a newly refurbished (2024) multi- purpose All Weather Pitch for Football, Netball and Tennis on a regular or Ad Hoc basis. We are proudly home to Mudeford Wood Tennis Club and from September 2025 also the home of Christchurch Netball Club.

 All our clubs and classes are run by the Community, for the Community.
