Facilities
The Church Hall is available for private hire. It is suitable for children’s parties (only up to the age of 10), meetings and exhibitions and can hold events of up to 120 people. Sliding doors divide the main room into two sections (the one area roughly twice the size of the other) for smaller gatherings. There is also a smaller room adjacent to the kitchen suitable for around 15 people.
The kitchen is modern and well-equipped with a fridge, cooker, dishwasher, sinks, crockery and cutlery. Users are expected to leave the hall clean and tidy, and cleaning materials can be found in the cleaners’ cupboard.
Limitations on Hiring
The Church is unable to accept bookings which are in conflict with the Christian Gospel or which promote any political party or opinion. The Bookings Secretary will work with anyone wishing to hire the Hall to ensure that the use of the Hall is acceptable within these limitations.
