MULTI – MILLION POUND RENOVATION DUE TO BE COMPLETED BY SPRING 2026

After years of planning and fundraising the multi-million pound “ Link Project” is well under way and is due to be completed in early Spring 2026. It involves a complete renovation and transformation of the Ashbourne Methodist Church.

The Gateway Centre will be completely redeveloped and is being transformed into a modern, high standard hostel offering seven ensuite bedrooms sleeping 32 guests. When it reopens it will be renamed Gateway Lodge. In a separate building within the grounds there will also be a one bedroom and two bedroom fully furnished apartments.

If you want to be kept informed about our reopening (early in 2026) please email the Centre Manager with your contact details.

Gateway Lodge will be ideal for:

  • Schools
  • Young people
  • Uniformed organisations
  • Family groups
  • Church groups
  • Walking, cycling and outdoor sports groups
  • Residential workshops

Location

The Gateway Centre is centrally located within Ashbourne, beneath Ashbourne Methodist Church, and is accessed from Station Road. The Centre's postcode is DE6 1AE. You can see our exact location by zooming in on the Google Map below.

We are adjacent to the start of the Tissington Trail which provides car free walking and cycling through open countryside. (Simply cross at the pedestrian crossing and turn right. If instead you turn left you will find the sports centre and swimming pool.)

Volunteers Welcomed

If you are interested in volunteering to help with the running of the Centre please contact the Gateway Centre.
