Room Hire
Period of hire is from when access is required through to exit, and not limited to the duration of the event itself.

We are wheelchair and pushchair-friendly, with accessible toilets and baby-change facilities on site.  We offer free Wi-fi.  Please note that the consumption of alcohol and gambling activities are not allowed on our premises.

For Religious Groups Looking To Hire
The Methodist Church has clear rules with worship that takes place on its premises.  If you wish to book our church for Christian worship, we have to follow a process that will take a few weeks to complete.  Should you wish to start this process then you need to speak to our Minister first, Revd Rach Collins (click here) to see if this is possible. 

It is worth noting at this point no alcohol is permitted on our premises, and we are registered to hold same sex marriages - we would expect those denominations who wish to use our premises to be sympathetic to these conditions.  We hope that you find a suitable place to worship God in and will work with you if you want to continue this path to being in our space.
