Portsmouth Central Masjid (Mosque) has been established since 2002. As the name suggests, it is located in the central area of Portsmouth called Fratton. The current building had originally been a Church, but subsequently went through many different uses, till it was converted to a Masjid, Alhamdulilla (all praise to Allah). We all pray that it remains a Masjid until the end.

PCF is a Pentecostal church that meets in the north of Portsmouth.

We are a group of people, of all ages and backgrounds, with the common purpose of coming together to worship God, and see His love and power at work not only in our lives, but in our community, city and workplace.

We don't just meet on Sundays but have a variety of events and activities that take place throughout the week, across the city.

Our main Sunday service is at 10.30am.

We meet in the Drayton Centre, 238 Havant Road, Drayton, Portsmouth, PO6 1PA.

As a small band of approx ten people we are a very friendly and supportive group of individuals of mixed abilities. We enjoy playing popular tunes that the audience can sing along and dance to. This is not typical of traditional brass bands.

We fully support anybody that used to play a brass instrument, whatever their ability, that wishes to return to the hobby and meet new friends.

We rehearse at The Deaf Centre in Arundel Street, Fratton, PO1 14X, Monday and Thursday nights 7:30pm - 9pm.
