Abbey Youth Cabin in northeast Cambridge is a dedicated space for clubs and activities for young people.
The cabin hosts regular and one-off youth groups and activities. You can hire it to host your youth club, activity or project for young people aged eight to 24.
It’s on the Abbey Leisure Complex site, near the artificial pitch south of the swimming pool. You can access it through the yellow barrier from the main car park. If you’re arriving across Coldham’s Common, turn left onto Pool Way.
The cabin only opens for reserved sessions – it is not a drop-in centre, and no staff are based there.
