About us

Welcome to The ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΚΥΠΡΙΑΚΗ ΕΣΤΙΑ (The Midlands Greek and Cypriot Association). Please take a look around and discover more about us.

The association was founded in 1974 and moved to the Community Centre in Erdington in 1983. We offer various facilities to support the Greek and Cypriot community in the Midlands and to promote Hellenic culture within the region; from our traditional Taverna, our Banqueting Suite, our Greek School and our Orthodox Church.

We are an Industrial and Provident Society (GB-MPR-30050R) governed by the FSA. As a not for profit organisation, we depend on the work of volunteers and donations to keep the centre going. Please feel free to contact us if you would like to donate.

EVERYONE is welcome at our centre, you’ll be greeted with open arms and made to feel at home. We also have a traditional Greek restaurant and Café serving fresh food (please look under the 'Restaurant & Café' section for more information). If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact our office.

For any event enquires or bookings, please contact our events manager Michelle @ events@magnetcentre.co.uk

We Require Donations!

We know that everyone is struggling at the moment with price increases in energy and food. We hope you and your families are getting through these trying times together and that you are all staying safe and well.

Our Estia (centre) relies on kind and regular donations from its visitors in order to survive. We are asking for assistance by way of donations on a one-off basis or by way of a weekly or monthly regular donation. This will help to ensure we keep the Centre and all the facilities (including our school) are still there for us to enjoy for years to come You can donate by clicking here: Donate

Thank you and stay safe

 

Αγαπητα Μέλη, Φίλοι και Υποστηρικτές της Ελληνοκυπριακής Εστίας.

Ελπίζω εσείς και οι οικογένειές σας να περνάτε όμορφα και να είστε όλοι καλά στην υγεία σας και ασφαλείς, έστω και υπό τις παρούσες δύσκολές και δυσάρεστες στιγμές που περνάμε. Η Εστία μας έχει κλείσει όπως και το εστιατόριο μας, μετά και την επίσημη έκκληση της Κυβέρνησης ως ένα από τα μέτρα προς αντιμετώπιση της πανδημίας του Covid-19. Η καθοδήγηση δεν δείχνει κανένα σημάδι χαλάρωσης που μας επιτρέπει με τη σειρά του να επιστρέψουμε στην Εστία για να χρησιμοποιήσουμε τις κανονικές παροχές σε κοινωνική βάση. Πράγματι φαίνεται ότι ίσως πάρει κάποιο διάστημα πριν επιστρέψουμε στους κανονικούς μας ρυθμούς και πίσω στην Εστία μας. Όπως γνωρίζετε, η Ελληνοκυπριακή Εστία βασίζεται σε ευγενικές και τακτικές δωρεές από όλους εσάς τους επισκέπτες της και μέλη της για να επιβιώσει. Για 10 εβδομάδες τώρα, αυτό το εισόδημα έχει σταματήσει εντελώς και η Εστία θα αγωνιστεί να επιβιώσει εάν οι περιορισμοί παραμείνουν σε ισχύ για μεγάλο χρονικό διάστημα.
*Ως εκ τούτου, ζητάμε βοήθεια μέσω δωρεών ή μέσω εβδομαδιαίας ή μηνιαίας τακτικής δωρεάς. Αυτό θα μας βοηθήσει να διατηρήσουμε την Εστία μας και όλες τις εγκαταστάσεις για όσο καιρό είμαστε σε αυτή την κατάσταση μέχρι και την επιστροφή μας στην κανονικότητα.
Όσοι επιθυμείτε να βοηθήσετε επώνυμα και μή παρακαλώ στήλτε μας μήνυμα εδώ στην σελίδα μας!!
Ευχαριστούμε προκαταβολικά!!!

Thank you in advance for your generous donation. Stay safe xx

Message from the Chairman, Mr Pantelis Trattos

This website is for all Greeks and Cypriots living in the Midlands. We will aim to keep people informed of forthcoming events at the Association Centre, and also be the basis of discussion on how the centre can be improved, become more accessible, and offer more to the Greeks and Cypriots of the Midlands.

I N V I T A T I O N!! 🎬 UK Cyprus Film I N V I T A T I O N!! 🎬 UK Cyprus Film Festival 2024: Opening Night Invitation 🎬 We are thrilled to announce the UK Cyprus Film Festival 2024 is kicking off right here in Birmingham! 🎉 Join us for an exciting first screening as we celebrate Cypriot cinema and culture, bringing the heart of Cyprus to your community. ✨ Opening Film: Senior Citizen by Marinos Kartikkis ✨ Step into the emotional world of Senior Citizen, a touching and reflective film that follows an elderly man’s poignant journey through aging, loneliness, and the timeless love he holds for his children. With its universal themes of family, sacrifice, and connection, the film speaks to Cypriots, Greeks, and the wider Balkan community. This year’s festival holds a special significance as we honor 50 years since the Turkish invasion of Cyprus and reflect on the experiences of the first generation of Cypriots who settled in the UK in the 1950s. Senior Citizen beautifully pays tribute to that legacy, making it the perfect film to open our festival. 📅 Date: October 14th, 2024 🕒 Time: 18:30 📍 Venue: The Midland Greek and Cypriot Association Magnet Centre, Park Approach, Erdington, Birmingham B23 7SJ Come and be part of this celebration of Cypriot heritage and film as we embark on a cinematic journey across the UK, starting in Birmingham!
It is with great sadness that we announce the deat It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our much-loved Michael Kavalieros. The funeral service will take place on Monday 14th October at 12:00pm here at the Holy Trinity and St. Luke. This will be followed by a burial at Sutton New Hall Cemetery (Lindridge Rd, Sutton Coldfield, B75 7HX). The wake will be held at Estia. The family have requested that donations for charity be offered instead of flowers.
