Hire Riverside Hall for your event
Riverside Hall was built in the very early years of the 20th Century as a place of worship. It was used as a “Mission for Seamen”, and in war-time was used by troops before they were transported across the channel to fight.

The Scouts, Brownies and other local groups use the facilities at Riverside Hall which consists of a kitchen area, toliets, foldable tables and chairs to configure the room for your event and our recently refurbished sensory room!
Sensory Room
Newhaven Mencap has a Multi-Sensory Room at our hall in Riverside, Newhaven, East Sussex, BN9 9BP. This is a specially designed and equipped room that fosters an atmosphere of relaxation which helps both adults and children to deal with emotional issues, by supplying a peaceful environment. The room has various examples of lights in order to help create a calming atmosphere, along with ‘piped’ soothing music.
In addition there are colourful games which stimulate the enjoyment of participation in play. The sensory room provides a calming atmosphere to encourage the development of communication. Sensory rooms have shown to be particularly beneficial for children with autism, as well as for children with hearing or sight problems.
The charge for use of the Sensory room is £5.00 per hour, per disabled adult/child. (Carers can attend free). Please note that a maximum of four persons can remain in the room at any one time.
To arrange a hiring of the Sensory Room, please contact us on 01273 517345, or email via our Contact Us page. Please specify whether the proposed user is a wheelchair occupant or is mobile.
