The cost of running and maintaining our Church and meeting with legal obligations runs into thousands of pounds each year. To help with Church finances, the Church is very dependent on funding the general running costs through the hire of its rooms for meetings and functions. The Church has several rooms that can be hired along with two kitchens. These rooms vary in size and some can connect to others if you require more than one room. Some rooms also have pianos in them. The rooms available are shown on this page, below.

Being a Methodist Church no alcohol is allowed on our premises – this includes items such as prizes at events which offer activities such as tombolas and lucky dips. We regret that we are unable to accept bookings for parties of any kind.
