LBC offers members and the community excellent contemporary quality facilities with a car park. Our large comfortable air-conditioned sanctuary can be extended into a rear hall to accommodate the community for the High Holy Days services. At other times the hall, with an adjacent (non-meat) kitchen, is available for receptions, events, drama, dancing, and may be hired. The kitchen is newly renovation and modern, and with our halls, available for hire.

All buildings are well equipped with toilets and baby change facilities, and are fully accessible for wheelchair users.
Our central courtyard is framed by a garden and courtyard barbeque used for weddings and other significant and community events.
