Peepul Centre

Peepul Centre

The Peepul Centre is an arts centre in Belgrave, Leicester. Designed by Andrzej Blonski Architects, the £15 million building was opened in 2005 and houses an auditorium, restaurant, cyber café, gym and dance studio for the local people, as well as being used for conferences and events. The centre has even been host to Prime Minister Gordon Brown and other senior Labour Party figures for hustings during the deputy leadership contest.

Founded by the Belgrave Baheno Women's Organisation the project was conceived in the 90's but just a few months after its opening, the centre faced financial difficulties in 2007.
