Popular attractions include the famous Doncaster Racecourse, Conisbrough Castle, Cusworth Hall, the Yorkshire Wildlife Park, Brodsworth Hall and the Dome leisure centre, where you can go skating, swimming or bowling.

Minden Court has a range of onsite facilities including a spacious communal lounge, guest room, lifts and car park. The court is surrounded by extensive open plan gardens with pleasant seating areas where residents can relax and watch the birds, squirrels and hedgehogs. Residents are welcome to get involved with looking after areas of the planting if they choose.

Our Court Manager Service is an important and integral part of Housing 21’s approach to supporting our residents. It is designed to offer support and security to the court and those residents on court who need it.
