Play Place in Shirley

Find out about the amazing programmes Play Place youth and community offers in our Shirley Community. 

Shrublands Youth Club

We run a youth club every Monday evening from 6:15–7:45pm for young people aged 9+. Based in the heart of Shrublands, this welcoming space is perfect for young people to meet new friends and spend time with their existing peers. Each session offers a range of fun and engaging activities, including sports, arts and crafts, and gaming.

Gaming Hub at Shirley Library

We are excited to launch our very first Gaming Hub at Shirley Community Library! Join us every Thursday for a fun and welcoming space designed especially for young people in the community. There is a small charge of £2 per person. With four PS4 consoles and one Xbox, all featuring FIFA 26, there’s plenty of opportunity for friendly competition and socialising. The Gaming Hub.
