FITZHERBERT COMMUNITY HUB
2 BRISTOL ROAD, BRIGHTON BN2 1AP

The new Community Hub links the Parish with the Real Junk Food Project, Brighton Table Tennis Club and Voices in Exile, opening out into the new courtyard via folding glazed doors, providing a light airy environment for visitors to the facilities.
