Community Hall
- A unique venue in Sandwell
- For events including weddings, social and cultural events
The venue
The Balaji Community Centre is in a peaceful and unique setting as part of a complex with the largest Hindu temple of its kind in Europe. The hand carved granite temple architecture creates a particularly peaceful environment for the Centre. The two-story high Centre is accessed from Dudley Road East and has generous free parking space. The Centre is recently refurbished to provide a high standard modern facility for social and cultural events, conferences, lectures and weddings.
The Centre is available for hire under conditions. As the Centre is located within the Temple Complex, strictly no alcohol or meat product will be allowed into the premises. Smoking is not permitted anywhere in the temple site or within any of the buildings.
The Centre is open for hire as each floor separately or as both floors together.
