** The Church Centre has reopened with limited hours **

After temporarily closing in March 2020 because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Centre has now reopened on a limited basis. The Centre has implemented precautions against Covid-19 in line with Government guidance so it can continue to provide an important community resource offering meeting and counselling rooms, some permanent offices and space for church and leisure activities.  Opening hours are currently by arrangement. Please contact the Centre office to discuss your requirements.

The Centre offers a wide choice of halls and rooms, ranging from the grandeur of the St Aidan’s Hall to the informality of a small meeting room, and are suitable for many uses: Conferences, Training Sessions, Committee Meetings, Children’s Groups, Exercise, Tutorials, Counselling and much more! The Centre is also home to three local charities and is used as an Arts and Social Centre by many groups. Please note that there have been some changes to room capacities and the facilities offered by the Centre to enable social distancing.

The Centre is at the same location as the Church and you can find us here
