The Tolmen Center is owned outright by the Constantine Enterprises Company, which was set up to further the physical, economic and cultural development of Constantine village. The CEC is a registered charity (no: 1071856) and village development trust.
Since it was aquired for the village by the Constantine Enterprises Company, the Tolmen Centre has become the centre of village life. Many residents and friends have enjoyed events there; a wide and loyal audience has developed for the varied arts programme, and the centre is slowly but surely building up a reputation in the Comish arts community.
Kneehlgh tell us that we are one of their favourite venues: praise indeed. Refurbishment of the Centre has been carried out in two phases with the help of around £300,000 in grants from the Millennium Commission; South West Regional Development Agency; Objective One; Garfield Weston, and the District and Parish Councils, all helped along by local fundraising.
The Tolmen Centre is now used on a regular basis by the Male Voice Choir and the Drama Group as well as for various courses including IT and Keep Fit. The Tolmen Cafe is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays and the Heritage Centre is now in regular operation.
Recent developments include the improvements to the Well Lane corner thanks to a £23,000 grant from the ‘Livlng Spaces’ Fund and the publication of a full colour Walks booklet linked to the Heritage Centre.
The Tolmen Cafe
Our twice-weekly community cafe, renowned for miles around for fresh, home-cooked food at prices everyone can afford.
Alone or with friends, you’ll find a warm welcome. Come and chill out on the sofas, read a magazine, maybe meet new people. All profits from the cafe go towards the development and upkeep of the Tolmen Centre.
