The Old School

The Old School is a unique community venue situated in the heart of Fairfield and Howley. Formed in 2010, we have worked hard to develop a venue that promotes and encourages creative learning and community arts. We do this by providing safe and accessible spaces at affordable prices. If you're looking to hire a room for your group or session and want something that's quirky, creative and fun then look no further! We also host a wide variety of community groups, classes and activities that you can take part in alongside a number of resident artists and creatives who deliver workshops, classes and events.

The Old School is for anyone wanting to be part of a community space that promotes inclusivity, creativity and opportunities to make meaningful change.
