FIND YOUR OWN PLACE 'DOWN DOCK'

'The Great Escape' is our community workspace for local people, built to provide a creative environment with access to the tools, materials and skills needed to set up community projects, spaces for small start-ups and home-workers and event and meeting spaces for local clubs and societies.


We empower local people who are ready to 'escape the ordinary' life and built something new for themselves, their families and their communities.
