Venue

Discovery Centres are modern, welcoming and friendly with a modern library service at the heart ... with books, information, music, DVDs and talking books for all ages and tastes.

There are rooms for community groups and well equipped learning suites. Free internet allows access to the most up to date information. There are areas for children and young people to read, study or just browse and a coffee bar with comfortable seats is a good place to relax or meet friends.

The Gallery @ Gosport Discovery Centre hosts a wide variety of exhibitions and events from shows of the finest local artists to exhibitions drawing on the rich museum collections held by Gosport and Hampshire. It is fast becoming a regional venue for major exhibitions on loan from our national museums and collections. Events range from theatrical productions to fun-days, talks to art workshops.

With heathlands, woodlands and ponds, Yateley Common offers a variety of experiences to visitors. You can walk, cycle and horse ride through 193 hectares of varied and wildlife rich surroundings. The Common also offers visitors the opportunity to fish, bird watch, and get involved in practical conservation through volunteering.

With mammals, protected birds and reptiles, Yateley Common is rich in wildlife. Which ever time of day you visit, there is always something to see.
