Community groups and organisations

Newly formed Women’s Institute group, meeting on the last Wednesday of the month at The Glebe Community Centre.

Local mixed tradition morris dance team who practice at the Congregational Hall in Fritchley.

A group of gardeners in Crich and Fritchley who open their gardens twice each year to share ideas with our visitors.

A weekly lunch freshly cooked at The Glebe Community Centre for people of all ages to come and have a social, hearty meal for a very reasonable price.
12 – 2pm. Booking in advance is required so that we can cater for the correct numbers.

The Briars is a residential retreat centre for The Nottingham Diocesan Catholic Youth Service.

Situated on The Common between Crich and Fritchley, we work with young people from all across the diocese as they embark on retreat experiences with us. For between 3 and 5 days we offer our young people the opportunity to step out of their everyday life, to focus on their relationship with themselves, each other and with God through days packed with team building, teaching, prayer and fun.

Held every 4 weeks at Crich Glebe Community Centre, a safe place to socialise for adults with learning disabilities and/or autism.
With dancing, games, a bar and food van, this is a great place for a get-together!

A small table tennis club for all ages and abilities. Meets at The Glebe Community Centre on Tuesday evenings.

We are a group of people playing indoor bowls on a Friday afternoon 2pm to 4pm at The Glebe Field Centre in Crich. People of all abilities are welcome to come along. There is a charge of £3 per session which includes a hot drink and biscuits.

A social enterprise based on community gardening. Bringing people together to work, grow and reconnect with the soil and nature. The main facility is at Butterley, Ripley, but also the Community Garden in Fritchley.

We play New Age Kurling at The Glebe Community Centre on Mondays from October to the end of March.

We use plastic stones fitted with ball bearings and you can use pushers if you are unable to bend sufficiently. We charge £4 a session but unless we can recruit more participants, this may have to increase to pay the Glebe costs.

We have a good laugh and would welcome new members.
