Welcome to Bideford Youth Centre!
Where young people are encouraged to cook and share food, play team games in the sports hall, play and record music in our purpose built studio, make and create a beautiful mess in the art room or chill and chat in the youth rooms.
We have a culture of exploring food on a budget here and promote a sustainable approach to this where possible so expect to smell something interesting or unusual when you enter!
