Youth Centre:
(Please see tabs on the right for extra info).
Eden's Project is a youthwork charity that started on 18th August 1999 and since that time has supported and had over 1,000 young people through it's doors! Eden's is located just off the main Market Hill in Sudbury, the centre is open to Upper School age young people, and the facilities include: CaféZone, Free Internet Access, Pool Table, Games Consoles, Flatscreen TVs, Garden, Loads of Sofas & Space to Chill. Eden’s is a charity and our purpose is to provide a safe and enjoyable venue for young people and be an alternative to hanging around in the town and the dangers that can go along with this.

Breaking the rules, or behaving in inappropriate ways, will result in you being asked to leave, and you may get a ban (the length of the ban will depend on the offence).
Information for Parents/Guardians:
The Eden’s door staff are happy to meet parents/guardians as they arrive outside Eden’s on Friday & Saturday nights and inform the young person that their lift has arrived. This helps us minimize noise disturbance to the local businesses and our neighbours. It also lets you know that if you saw your young person enter Eden’s that they have not left the premises during the evening. However, if your young person is outside already when you come to collect them, then you know they have either left early or have been asked to leave due to bad behaviour. But please pick up your child by 10pm as we will have to ask any remaining young people to leave the premises at 10:05pm.
We hope you appreciate that our rules are designed to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for all and will help us make Eden’s a really good alternative to hanging around on the streets of Sudbury town centre and the dangers that goes with this.
