Whats happening at the Pavilion?
2025 - We’re currently working with Capital City College Group (CCCG), who are hiring space at the Pavilion to provide courses aimed at supporting unemployed residents in Milton Keynes. These sessions are designed to build confidence, teach new skills, and open pathways to employment.
A series of wellbeing sessions are in the pipeline! We're teaming up with practitioner Ross Abbott to design a 12-month programme for adults, featuring courses, webinars, and helpful resources—all with the aim of supporting resident wellbeing.
What Else is on During the Week at Broughton Pavilion?
Broughton Pavilion is a real hive of activity during the week, offering something for everyone—whether you’re a parent, carer, young person, or just fancy a cuppa and a chat!
We’re proud to be the home of Chipmonks Pre-School, who were recently awarded Outstanding in their latest Ofsted report—a huge achievement and a reflection of the brilliant team who provide such a warm and nurturing environment for local children.
Our daytime groups continue to grow, including the much-loved Little Learners Baby & Toddler Group, which runs every Thursday morning (term time) and is perfect for little ones to explore, play, and make new friends.
We also host a wide range of other community-led groups including:
Cha Char Chimps – fun and engaging sessions for babies and toddlers, every Friday term time, 10 till 11.
Brownies, Cubs, and Scouts – building confidence, skills and friendships for our local young people
And don’t forget, our Community Hub is open Tuesday to Thursday, 9am–2pm. It’s a welcoming space where you can drop in for a chat, get signposted to support, or just relax with a hot drink.
We also welcome:
The Mobile Top-Up Shop (in the car park every Wednesday, 10am–11:30am) offering low-cost essentials for residents
And coming soon... our brand new Community Larder, opening at the start of June, running every Tuesday from 4pm to 5:30pm. A great opportunity to access affordable food and reduce waste!
January 2024 - The Community Hub is now operational, and all parish residents are invited to visit from Tuesday to Thursday, between 9am and 2pm. Head over to the "What's On" page to explore the latest news and event guide!
December 2023 - We were excited to announce that we had begun work on a new refreshment station located near the reception area of the Community Hub. This new addition will allow residents to easily access and enjoy refreshments during their visits.
November 2023 - November has brought a wave of positive changes to Broughton Pavilion. We are thrilled to announce our success in securing Section 106 funding, which has given us the opportunity to enhance and improve the pavilion's facilities for our residents.
Our first project was the construction of a canopy at the back of the building. This new addition, along with the benches, will create a perfect spectator area for various activities taking place on the field, while also providing a sheltered space for parents picking up their children from Chipmonks Pre-School.
Our next project will focus on enhancing the vast foyer area. We plan to build a new meeting room, create an internet access area, and add a comfortable seating area. Stay tuned for more exciting updates coming soon!
