Halls

St Mary’s has two halls within the church grounds.  These offer excellent facilities for church and community use.  The Parish Office is located within the larger Millennium Hall, and the smaller Centenary Hall is in a separate building just behind the church. 

The Millennium Hall, has a large main hall with adjoining committee rooms that can be linked to it or used separately. There is a well equipped kitchen and there are toilets, baby changing facilities and a disabled toilet.

The hall has photovoltaic solar panels, which supply electricity to both halls and the grid.

The Centenary Hall, built for the church's centenary in 1956, is a medium sized building with a single main hall and modernised kitchen and toilet facilities.

Both halls are available for hire by the community when not being used for church services or events. Click here to download Parish Centre Leaflet >
