Although St. Matthew’s building is in use throughout the week, it is sometimes possible to hire the hall or lounge for private functions, children's parties and community events. We are unable to accept any commercial bookings, unless there is a strong connection to the local area.
The Lower Hall was refurbished in 2001 and offers a large carpeted area with seating for up to 150 adults and a fully equipped kitchen. The Lounge was built in 2006 and offers a smaller space, with seating for 40 adults. Adjacent to the Lounge is a fully equipped kitchen which can be hired in addition to the lounge. There is easy disabled access to the Lounge and Lower Hall, although all the toilets are on the upper floor and are only accessible from the Lower Hall via a stair case.

If you wish to hire the hall or lounge, please check that it is not in use at the time you want it using our online diary. To view this information, click on the date your are interested in on the calendar in the 'What's on' box on the right hand side of this page.
If the building is not in use, please contact the church office to confirm that you can have the rooms when you need them and then print and fill in this form and post it with your payment and deposit.
Your booking cannot be confirmed until we have received both your booking form and payment. You will need to arrange to collect the keys from the Church Office during opening hours.
