As Monday 31st July is a so-called "Brueckentag" any groups meeting on that day should check with their leader whether the groups will actually meet. 

From Tuesday 4th July until Thursday 31st August the front desk at Centrepoint will be manned as follows:

Tuesday to Friday: 09:00 - 13:00

Monday, Saturday and Sunday: closed

Normal opening hours will resume from Tuesday 5th September.

Centrepoint will be closed on Saturday 1st July.

The recent award of the 38th Prix schappo to Centrepoint has been widely reported in the local media, including Telebasel and Radio X.  You can watch and listen to these reports (in German).

Join us for a wonderful night to celebrate summer.  We'll have a Mediterranean buffet dinner including vegetarian options, and our favourite DJ will be back to get us dancing under the stars.  If you enjoyed the birthday party last year (or if you missed out on it) be sure to get your tickets early, as numbers are limited.

Join us on Friday 23rd June from 18:00 - 23:00.  Find us in the Foyer and Innenhof, Im Lohnhof.

This is a members only event and CHF 45.- per person is payable at the door.  Centrepoint cancellation policy will apply.

Email us here  to book your place(s) by Sunday 18th June.
