The community centre at the heart of St Ives
Have you discovered it yet? St Ives Corn Exchange is in the centre of the historic market town of St Ives – halfway along the main shopping street.
The Corn Exchange is your local community centre, a facility that belongs to the people of St Ives.
Step inside from The Pavement and every day you’ll find something remarkable going on. Whether it’s an indoor market, a youth theatre, exercise and dancing classes, a craft exhibition, a business conference… or just local folk taking a break and chatting over a cup of tea.
There are lots of activities in lots of rooms which have been superbly maintained following a £1 million refurbishment in 2010 paid for by local people through the St Ives Town Council as well as by local businesses, individual sponsors and by ACE fundraisers, the Friends of St Ives Corn Exchange.
If you haven’t been inside yet, just drop in and chat to our volunteers – like them, we hope you’ll be delighted that the building has been saved for the use of our local community.
Meanwhile, do take a look around this site to find out what’s happening at the Corn Exchange and how you could make use of the Corn Exchange for your local community group, or your business meeting, or your private social event.
