Limestone House Facilities
Tel: 01909 724061
Limestone House is the main location of the Elmton & Creswell Village Company, which provides multimedia computer suites, music recording studios and educational facilities for the community. It also has a Heritage Centre, a charity shop and a coffee shop, while the Resouce Centre has been converted into a state of the art multimedia studio.
It was set up in 2003 to help regenerate the area, and offers dozens of courses as well as free Internet access. It also has a mini bus to hire, which has proved very popular recently.
The Heritage Centre

The Heritage Centre chronicles Creswell"s unique history, from Ice Age settlements in Creswell Crags, through Roman times and all the way up to the mining industry. It provides interactive displays for children, and is the perfect environment in which to enjoy the coffee shop. It is free to enter and look around, and all the profits from the charity and coffee shop go to charity.

Commuity services

Limestone House also offers numerous community services, including a charity shop, a coffee shop and a second hand book shop. All three are run by volunteers who won an award for their dedication in 2010 (see the Awards section for more information.) We are always looking for more people to work there. If you are interested in contributing to the community and are looking for a friendly working environment, ring 01909 724061.

Multimedia Studios
The Multimedia studios are free to use and have internet access. The computers in them can work as either PCs or Apple Macs, and have helped many people gain qualifications and more confidence with computers. They are also for the ECHOES project, which converts photographs into DVDs so they will last longer. For the full list of activities, see Courses for more information.
Other services
Derbyshire Unemployed Workers advisers also reguarly give information on employement. They can help with problems from looking for a job and recommending contacts to benefits and training. They are always in Limestone House, and are free to see.
Legal advice can help with a variety of problems. It requires booking an appointment and only comes in once a month.
If you have difficulty getting to Limestone House, or have a large group of people you wish to bring, we have a mini bus which has proved extremely popular recently.
