The Glass Room is a bright and airy room, approximately 40 square metres, with a kitchen accessed via a hatch and patio doors opening onto a small patio area. The maximum capacity of the room is 35 people with 6 bistro tables and 24 chairs, with extra chairs available on request. The kitchen has an oven, hob, and microwave oven, fridge with small freezer, and crockery and glasses for 50 people.

The party was fabulous, thank you – the Glass and Blue room are such a great facility and we’re very lucky to have it in the local community

The Church contains a number of spaces that can be hired together or separately. They include a large and spacious hall with a catering kitchen, and two meeting rooms within the church, and also the main church space. Car parking spaces are available in St Mark’s Court, instructions for use will be given on booking.
The main body of the Church measures approximately 300 square metres and can seat up to 250 people. There is a projection and sound system facility for presentations. Seating is kept at 140 chairs from day to day, but a further 100 chairs are available onsite for larger groups.
Users are expected to be sensitive to the fact that this space is primarily used for worship so certain activities may be inappropriate for the main church.
St Mark’s hall is a large and flexible space (approximately 135m² overall). The flooring is oak veneered, cross laminated sprung timber ideal for dance and exercise classes. We have regular hirers ranging from fitness classes to orchestra rehearsals to children’s activity groups, as well as children’s birthday parties and charity fund raisers. There is a kitchen with 2 ovens, 2 microwaves, 2 fridges and a freezer, and dishwasher. There are crockery and glasses for up to 80 people. The hall also provides a projector, screen, and sound system. (N.B.: hirers are expected to use technology from instruction manual; no technical personnel are on site.) The hall capacity is maximum 80 people seated or 120 or a standing buffet.
We love using the hall every Tuesday afternoon. The staff are fantastic and prompt to deal with and the hall is always in superb condition.
