Book our venue

If you are looking for a place to hold regular meetings we may be able to help!

We are fortunate enough to have lots of adaptable space that is available to share with the wider community. We believe our hire charges are reasonable but necessary so we can cover costs of heating & electricity. Details of these costs will be made available when you contact us to enquire about bookings.

Christ Church, (the Sanctuary):

This is a great space for concerts and seminars. The un-carpeted, solid wood floor and high roof provide great acoustics - especially for singing.
Seating on the ground floor for approximately 100 people in chairs and upstairs in the Gallery for about 160 in pews. Our classic full-sized Grand Piano is available to hire if required.
We have central heating throughout the building, access for wheelchair users via the side door and ground floor toilet facilities (although the main toliet facilities are in the Christ Church rooms or Sawyer hall).

Christ Church Rooms:

Next door to the main church building. Two main meeting rooms, with room divider and a large well-equipped kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with ample working surfaces; a six burner, double door gas cooker; plumbed water heater; hot cupboard; fridge; microwave; 2 deep sinks; cooking pans; electric kettles; crockery and cutlery. Chairs and Tables are available and the rooms are fully carpeted and curtained. Our upright piano and TV are available for use (on request).
With easy access to toilets on the ground floor, including one with facilities for wheelchair users and central heating throughout the building, they are ideal for smaller gatherings.

The Sawyer Hall:

On the other side of the church building, is another, larger hall and kitchen. This has capacity for approximately 160 people (fewer if seated). It has a wooden floor and a projection screen.
There are toilet facilities for men and women, and a gender-neutral toilet with access for wheelchair users.

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When

We meet at the Church Building (details here) for our Sunday Service starting at 10:30am. For your first visit, we recommend arriving 5-10 minutes early so you can find somewhere to sit before the service begins. When you arrive, you will be greeted by a member of our Welcome Team. Let them know you're new to church and they'll answer any questions you have. There is no need to 'dress up' for church - most people dress quite casually.

Toilets are located in the Christ Church rooms next to the main church building. We serve tea, coffee and biscuits after the service in the Christ Church rooms. All refreshments are free.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access, and a sound loop for anyone who needs it. Please let one of the Welcome Team know on your arrival and they will help you to access the building. There is a disabled toilet in the Christ Church rooms.

Our Service

The main service begins at 10:30am, and usually lasts just over one hour. There will be prayers, a reflection and news and notices, with worship music and hymns throughout. Christ Church has a range of service styles - some services are more traditional with organ and piano, other services have songs led by a worship group. Occasionally we have cafe-style services with conversation and activities around tables.

Church Interior

What about my children?

Your children are welcome in our church services, and we have a children's corner setup with toys and colouring in, which they are welcome to play with throughout the service, and a comfy sofa for you! The service can also be relayed to the church foyer if you need a quieter space.

Getting Connected

Small Groups

While Sundays are a great way to meet new people, it is often in smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. We have various midweek meetings - our Renew Wellbeing Space, our Bee Creative group, Table Tennis as well as our small groups to explore faith.
Being part of one of our small groups allows you to get to know other people and find support. Check out our Church Life section and our Small Groups and see if there’s something that you could try, or we can put you in touch with a small group leader who will be more than happy to invite you along to their group.

Serving and Volunteering

If you want to get involved in the life of the church and help us make Sundays or weekdays run smoothly, you can sign up to serve on a team.
