As the diagram on the right indicates we have a variety of spaces available for hire by organisations that meet regularly or for other, individual occasions. Of course, church use alwa
ys comes first.
For many years the Large Hall has been used by the Abbey Playgroup every morning, Monday to Friday during school term time. There is a possibility in the future that they will extend their hours into the afternoon. This hall is also used by some other groups on certain evenings.
The Church Sanctuary has had occasional use for large scale concerts and is well equipped for such events.
The New Hall in the recently refurbished extension is a favourite for local coffee mornings with access to our excellent kitchen facilities. For something smaller the Gallery may be adequate. It has a coffee shop feel with seating for twenty-four.
The Small Hall is booked by groups of up to about thirty for meetings and other activities while the Session Room can also accommodate smaller groups for meetings.
The Church Sanctuary is fitted with a sophisticated AV system and, by arrangement, we may be able to project images on to a large screen and/or play music from CDs. Radio microphones are also available. A large screen and portable projector can also be set up in any of the other halls for you to use with your own laptop. A recently purchased digital screen may also be available for use.
If you are interested in booking any of our halls please contact the Church Administrator, Moira Steven either by telephoning 01241877068 or by emailing church.office@old-and-abbey-church.org.uk and she will be able to advise as to availability and charges.
