Hall For Hire
Set on the outskirts of Devizes in Wiltshire, the centre has two halls open for hire to groups, businesses, individuals and clubs. The larger hall will accommodate around 60 persons seated and the smaller hall approximately 20.
The Devizes and District Association for the Disabled are responsible for the upkeep and administration of the Nursteed Centre which it currently leases from Wiltshire County Council. Facilities have now been enhanced by provision of a wall mounted large TV Screen in each room to enable visual presentations from laptop computers and other equipment and to allow improved audio facilities including Bluetooth connection. These works were made possible by a grant from the Wiltshire Council Area Board which covered 50% of the cost.
To hire the hall for your function, whether for a regular reservation or a one-off use, please contact the Community Centre's administrator by clicking here,

The Nursteed Community Centre
Providing a safe, accessible, affordable and comfortable meeting place for disabled people The Devizes & District Association for the Disabled was formed in 1981 with the aim of improving facilities, in Devizes, for disabled people.
In 1984 The Nursteed Centre was opened providing a meeting hall, kitchen and toilets specifically designed for the disabled. It is now home to 16 disabled groups with approximately 250 people attending the Centre on a regular basis.
The D&DAD seeks financial support to assist with running costs and allow the facilities to be available at reasonable cost
Why the community needs us
The Nursteed Centre is the only specially adapted meeting venue for disabled groups in the area. It offers good parking, a large meeting hall together with an adjacent smaller room, kitchen complete with dishwasher and accessible toilets.
Our impact on the community
The Centre is run by a management committee which includes representatives from the general community and from user groups which helps to ensure we continue to meet the needs of disabled and able bodied people. Apart from the part time Centre Organiser all the management committee are unpaid volunteers.
In 2012 sixteen disabled groups used the Centre and approximately 250 people attended on a regular basis. Nowadays, the halls are available for both disabled and able-bodied groups and the centre manager will be able to provide details of availabiliy and costs to those thinking of hiring the facilities
