The Capel Building is home to our offices, day services, events and fitness groups.
On the lower floor we have our offices including reception, and above that we have our Art, Cooking and Sensory Rooms, as well as the spacious Capel Hall; which you may remember from the famous ‘dole queue scene’ in hit film ‘The Full Monty’!
Capel Hall is perhaps the bit of Burton Street that still looks most like a school. It’s best thought of as an activity space, rather than a function space. At 105 sq/m, it is particularly popular with dance and drama groups. Between 9am-5pm, the Capel Building is where the majority of our learning disability services take place. Outside these times Capel Hall is available to rent for a variety of purposes. It’s a bit rough and ready to be a venue for a posh do – Burton Hall is much more suitable in those instances. Capel Hall is more of a fun activity space.
Amenities include a PA system, projector, accessible WC, Changing Places WC, some rather substantial folding tables and loads of robust, colourful chairs.
