Hiring the Church and Parish Rooms

Hiring the Church

Numerous musical groups, organisations, schools and societies have used our church as a venue for their events due to its size, splendour and acoustics.  If you want to know a bit more please look at our Frequently Asked Questions about hiring the church.

Hiring our Parish Rooms

Groups outside the church can also hire our Parish Rooms for events like a child’s party or talks or meetings.   The Parish Rooms comprise a main hall and side room on the ground floor with access to a kitchen and toilets (including one for disabled people), and some smaller meeting rooms downstairs.  If you want to know a bit more please look at our Frequently Asked Questions about hiring the parish rooms.
