We have something new on the menu today - Veggie Curry served with Naan Bread. The perfect light lunch on a cold snowy day in Durham.

We will be open serving lots of homebaked treats from 9.30am till 2pm.

Pop along to the Centre on Tuesday 9th December for some lovely handmade gifts and decorations courtesy of our very own The Old School Woodcrafts, which will have a stall in the lobby.

You'll also be able to nab a festive sandwich and the best cake in Durham (we're biased!) from our volunteers in The Old School Café.

We hope to see you there!
