Church centre
|
THE CHURCH CENTRE Our Church Centre was built in the 1970's and was extended in 1995. It has various multi-purpose spaces which are used for many Church based activities. These spaces are also available for hire at very reasonable rates and the Centre is used extensively by community groups as well as by the Church.
THE MAIN HALL
The Main Hall (as pictured here) is a large space with a sprung dance floor. It can be used for a wide variety of activities. Capacity: 120 - 130 people (depending on seating format).
THE SMALL HALL The Small Hall is a multiple use space, suited to many purposes,
THE LOUNGE The Lounge is a pleasant carpeted space with tables and chairs.
COMMUNAL HALL FACILITIES The hall is disabled-friendly throughout, including the toilet facilities. There is also a well equipped kitchen with two ovens, four hob burners, a fridge, two sinks, and an electric water boiler. There is also a bright, welcoming, foyer space with tables and chairs, as well as the Parish Office with office facilities for the Church. We are delighted to be able to record our gratitude to the National Lottery "Awards for All" who have funded new chairs for the main hall, small hall and entrance area, new curtains, a P.A. system and new lighting in the Large Hall. Also to WREN Landfill grant scheme for funding new flooring in the entrance area, new toilets, zoning the heating so each area can be heated separately and refurbishing the sprung wooden floor in the Large Hall.
