These are excellent premises, opened in 1968, owned and
used by St Matthew’s Church. We offer well-heated rooms
with tables and chairs. There is a
fully-equipped
kitchen. A programme of modernisation is in hand. A
toilet for the disabled and baby changing facilities are
available.
Our premises are suitable for a variety of purposes
during the day and evening, including such activities as
yoga, dance, society meetings and lectures.
Arrangements can be made for social events and
parties
(but not discos). The grassed area may also be used for
outside events. Please come and look at our building and
you will receive a warm welcome.
