About Us

Persian Cultural Centre is based in Southampton.

The conversion of the former NatWest Bank to the prestigious community hall was carried out by Roxan Construction Ltd, a subsidiary company of MYA Property Ltd, the freeholder of the premises to a very high standard.

Persian Cultural Centre, or PCC for short, is a Charitable nonprofit making organisation, totally independent. It is neither financially supported by, nor does it belong to, any political group or any government.
