Twenty 7: A New Community Space Bringing People Together in Pontefract
Pontefract has gained a vibrant new community space with the opening of Twenty 7, created by the Methodist Church to support local residents, families, and neighbourhood groups. Taking its name from the address, number 27 Market Place, Twenty 7 opened after the Church and Woodhead Investments worked together to create a flexible, welcoming, bright space where people can meet, create, learn, and simply feel part of something.
The vision behind Twenty 7 is simple: to offer a safe, inclusive environment where community can flourish. The space is open every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, from 10am until 2pm where you can drop in to meet other people, have a chat and get a free hot drink.
Twenty 7 is also hosting a number of other events, including a music group and regular poetry workshops and is available for private bookings, making it a useful resource for small businesses and community groups who need an affordable, accessible venue in the town centre.
What sets Twenty 7 apart is its emphasis on connection. Whether someone wants a quiet place to chat, a supportive group to join, or a chance to get involved in local initiatives, the team behind the project is committed to making everyone feel welcome. The Methodist Church hopes the space will strengthen community ties and offer practical support to people who may feel isolated or in need of a friendly environment.
If you are in town, do pop in to meet the team: Paula, David and Ruth, say hello to the friendly volunteers, and make the most of this important new space in the heart of Pontefract.
