This website aims to provide the latest details about future events and details about hiring The Brig and also allows you to check our calendar. For more details about ACSF’s plans to develop the land around St Mary’s Road and The Brig to improve both open community and sports areas. We hope that you find this website useful and come along and enjoy one of the many events or classes at The Brig or to enjoy the social aspect.

The Bar At The Brig serves a range of refreshments including premium lagers, ciders, real ale, spirits, wines, cocktails and a wide range of specialised and premium gins and tonics. A facility to pay be card is provided. The Bar At The Brig is a wholly owned subsidiary company of our charity, which ensures that a social aspect remains at the heart of our enterprise. This is hugely important as that concept fully reflects the history and heritage of the venue which was established to provide a social heart for the community and provide a base for wider interests.

The Brig is also the base for the following community groups:

– Altofts Book Swap

– Altofts Juniors AFC

– Castleford and District Lions

– Castleford Water Polo

– Altofts Cycling Club

– The Brigeteers

Our enterprise and ambitions also have the full support of Wakefield Council who see The Brig as an exemplar in terms of community based enterprise. Ward Councillors are regular visitors and are represented on our Board of Trustees.
