We offer three main spaces for hire in the Methodist Building:

  • Hall
  • The Fellowship Room
  • The Sanctuary

The hall and fellowship room can be let simultaneously to different hirers, normally without a problem provided they understand that they must each allow access to the toilets and kitchen, which are accessible from each room.

The sanctuary can only be let to hirers for concerts or lectures who normally must also hire for the same period either the hall or fellowship room or both (meaning the whole of the ground floor of the building). This is so they can access the toilets.

The hire charges are listed below. Charities and community projects of a charitable nature may be allowed a discounted rate on application.

Please note that no alcohol is permitted on the premises of the Methodist Church Building.
