Although St. Matthew’s building is in use throughout the week, it is sometimes possible to hire the hall for children's parties (under 12, ending by 6pm), quiet private functions, and community events. We are unable to accept any commercial bookings unless there is a strong connection to the local area. Please note that our facilities are not available for hire on Sundays (the Lord's Day).

​

The Lower Hall was refurbished in 2001 and offers a large carpeted area with seating for up to 100 adults. A new smoke alarm system was installed in 2017 and the hall was repainted in September 2018. There is easy disabled access to the Lower Hall, although all the toilets are on the upper floor and are only accessible from the Lower Hall via stairs. As of 1st September 2021 we are re-open for children's parties.

​

If you would like to hire either hall, please check that it does not appear to be in use at the time you want it using our online calendar. If the building does not appear to be in use, please contact the church office to confirm that you can have the rooms when you need them & request a booking form. 

​

Your booking will be confirmed with you once we have received both your completed booking form and payment. You will need to arrange to collect a key from the Church Office during opening hours.
