Where You Should Be
Hello,
friend!
Welcome to the Peace Cottage Community Hub, a venue providing support for community groups, located in our Grade II listed building in Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire.
Within the beautiful 19th century setting our centre includes several large and small rooms as well as a community garden suitable for a range of activities to support individuals and local groups.
Unfortunately the building has been unused for some time and is in need of some repair, but with a little love we can restore it’s purpose as a place of gathering and provide a vital service to the community.
Please visit our GoFundMe page to learn more. Thank you.
