We will welcome visitors to The Brady Centre for Open House 2025, from 12 - 4pm on Saturday 20 September.
The Brady Centre first opened its doors as the Brady Girls Club and Settlement in June 1935.
The building was designed by Ernest Joseph ( Messrs Joseph) architect and youth worker. The Brady Boys Club opened in April 1896 in Durward Street nearby.
In 1960 the Boys Club moved into the extended Brady building to join the Girls Club.
In 1999 The Brady re-branded as The Brady Arts and Community Centre.
This is The Brady's third journey with Open House, giving us the opportunity to reveal its fascinating history and future.
