Check out the facilities we have available at both the Convent Community Centre (CCC) and St. James’ Hall. These include halls with stage areas; meeting rooms; a digital hub; conferencing facilities; classrooms, a Changing Places location; kitchens and we even have a fully kitted out Snooker Room!

Athboy CCC and St. James' Hall.

We run two community facilities in our town: Athboy CCC and St. James’ Hall.  These are more than buildings, they are centres for the community offering spaces for groups, individuals/remote workers, conferencing,  classes, events, concerts, and much more. With a broad spectrum of community, business, sporting, recreational and wellbeing  active groups utilising both locations, these facilities are at the heart of our community in Athboy.
