The hall

The hall can comfortably accommodate 40-60 people sitting down. There is a large kitchen off the hall. This is suitable for all users including wheelchair users.

The room was decorated in 2024 thanks to the generosity of worshippers, some who gave their professional skills, thanks to donations for paint and materials, a tremendous cleaning effort, plus help from a community project. Some of the donations for materials were made in memory of loved ones associated with the church. The previous redecoration and build also owed much to the generosity of members of the church and legacies. Thank you to everyone who has been involved over the years in helping make this space possible, available for use, and to keep it looking welcoming.

The hall is a flexible space in terms of how chairs and tables are laid out. There is a white wall that can be used to project onto for presentations if hirers are planning to bring in their own relevant equipment. Please discuss any details with the Premises Steward, Maria.
