James Cumming Community Centre

James Cumming Community Centre

The James Cumming Community Centre is a Gore District Council-owned facility at Ardwick Street, Gore, sharing its site with the town's library. It offers light, modern function spaces for private and community use.

Facilities The centre has three hireable rooms, each named after a tributary of the Mataura River. A fully equipped kitchenette is available for hirers to heat food and prepare hot drinks. The venue is strictly smoke- and vape-free.

Hire conditions Hire periods include time for set-up and pack-down. Hirers are responsible for leaving the venue clean, including loading any used dishes into the dishwasher, and must return all access keys or fobs the day after their event. Hirers must arrange, at their own cost, any licences or permits their event requires.

MICE relevance With three flexible rooms and straightforward council-managed booking, the centre suits small to medium meetings, workshops, community functions and training sessions in Gore rather than large-scale conferences. Its central Ardwick Street location, alongside the Gore library, makes it an easy, practical option for local meeting and event organisers.
