The Hoy Centre was formally the primary school for Hoy, converted to an Outdoor Centre in the 1960’s. The Centre was enlarged in 1988 and then completely refurbished in mid 2005 and now offers a high quality meeting place for the local community on the beautiful island of Hoy.  The Centre is fully equipped for disabled people.

During the spring and autumn the Centre hosts the Outdoor Education Programme for Orkney Island Council.  Local children enjoy the local environment and participate in a variety of outdoor activities.

The Centre is a focal point for the island and is used by several groups, including the Centre Committee, Community Association, Community Council and the Lifeboat Guild. The Centre also hosts the Hoy annual produce show.

Residential courses are run at the Centre, for the general public, details of which can be found in the Courses page.
