Our community coffee shop, Treetops, opened on 3rd November 2014. It is open to the public and serving a selection of teas, freshly ground coffee, freshly prepared sandwiches, salads and cakes, it's a great place to meet up with friends, or just have a quiet moment to yourself. Head to the Treetops page to find out more and to have a look at our menu.

Whether you are a group looking for a place to practice or meet, or an individual looking for something to do in Gillingham, Woodlands has plenty to offer. Check out some of the events we have coming up or pop in and have a chat with our friendly staff to see how you can get involved.

The Centre opened its doors on Sunday 1st November 2003 to its first client, a dance company called Splinters. Since then, the Arts Centre has gone from strength to strength, filling its rooms with dance, music and entertainment, bringing the facility to life. We are continually growing, opening our coffee shop Treetops in November 2014 and with the help of you, the community, we aim to provide a much valued facility for Medway.
