Community Learning and Resource Centre (CLaRC)
Our aim is to provide the community of Dorset with affordable venue/room and community space hire either for regular classes, meetings, events or training sessions. The CLaRC is an accessible Dementia Friendly facility with a wide range of fully equipped rooms suitable for a variety of activities (see our rooms below).

The Centre is beautifully kept and the staff are always on hand to help with anything!
I have looked at other venues in the area – but this one is very hard to beat!!”

“CLARC is an utterly fabulous venue!!! All of the staff are polite, kind, friendly and extremely helpful. Nothing is ever too much trouble. The venue is clean, bright and incredibly well managed. I run my slimming world group here ever Saturday and can honestly say there is no better place for myself and my members. Great place to work, visit and do business ♥️”
