The Back Room, with its easy-access and reliance on artificial lighting, offers a private, versatile space for meetings and workshops, seating up to 10 people in a boardroom arrangement.
There are 8 square tables, making the room less suitable for physical activities, as they can’t be folded away, but can be moved to the edges of the room. There are ample electricity points for classes such as IT or machine sewing.
The room serves as the vibrant hub for The Sherwood Exchange. This community-centric charity transforms the room into a bustling marketplace every Saturday afternoon, where locals can freely exchange or acquire various items, including food, clothes, household goods and toiletries, fostering a spirit of sharing and connection within the community.
