A garden oasis bringing people together to be healthy and happy

Calthorpe is a friendly space where everyone is welcome to meet, get active, grow, and feel part of a community. For over 40 years, we’ve been helping people look after their physical and mental well-being while making the neighbourhood greener and more sustainable.

Open seven days a week, we offer sports, gardening, creative and cultural activities - giving people a chance to connect, learn new skills, and support each other. At Calthorpe, we look after both our community and the environment.

We’re just a 10 minute walk from Kings Cross – and we look forward to welcoming you soon!
