This is an excellent space and excellent value. The hall is spacious and the kitchen is well stocked. Lots of tables and chairs etc. And comfortably warm. We booked it for a fifth birthday party and I would definitely use it again for a similar occasion. I was able to view it in advance and it was easy to get access on the day. For people booking this hall: the main light switches are actually right at the back of the hall, by the stage. If you'll need the oven, ask about how to turn on the gas. Allow time to clean tables, as we found these were very sticky with glue. And check if you'll actually be able to use the car park, as we found the Scouts were selling Christmas trees during our party so we could only use a small area of it. This was really frustrating as there was a match on so the surrounding roads were very busy and I had reassured my guests that there would be space for around 10-15 cars! I tried calling and messaging the emergency number on the day when we were struggling with the gas oven and there was no response. I'd also recommend bringing your own cleaning stuff.

Fantastic hall, nice, clean and warm. Easy access, good parking. Having a sink and fridge helps. Great experience for my son's 9th Birthday party.

Unfortunately, the church was locked with no coded door evident. We paid for the hire of the Blancharde Room, received a code via email and were unable to use it anywhere. We, plus the clients, walked the perimeters a number of times. We went to the hall next door also, but no room was located. Speaking to the team in the hall they said this happens fairly regularly with the church.

Excellent space for our embroidery workshop for 10 people. Very good light for intricate stitching. Good sturdy tables and good kitchenette for teas and coffees. Good car parking immediately outside. Very good value for money. Access with an entry code worked very well.

As such the room is fine, it is not big but was enough for what we needed to do. Floor is good for dancing (if that's what you want to do). Simple kitchen with all you need is there. What was really not great is that on the Saresy site you get a confusing message which suggest that you can cancel within 48 hours ... but it means 48 after you place booking and only applies if you book more than 2 weeks in advance. That confused me as I (and many others I assume) would take it as promise to refund up to 48 hours before the event. I understand that those who rent want to ensure they have time to find new customers but such confusing messages should be removed from the front page and conditions clearly explained in bold letters BEFORE people pay money. I'd suggest to put a picture of the building somewhere because the church is actually on the opposite side of the road.

Great space, indoor and outdoor options and plenty of room for a party! Took a while to find the light switches as they’re at the back staircase rather than near the front door but otherwise all went well. Bring binbags and a cleaning cloth/spray.

The door code I was given was wrong. The code was for the side door and not for the main hall that I had booked. It was an extremely worrying situation as we thought we couldn’t get in and set up for our son’s 6th birthday party with 30 friends! I called the emergency contact and was given the right code but it was not a good start. Once in, the hall and facilities were great (have used this venue for the past 3 years and can’t fault it).

Value for money. This venue was perfect for a gathering of 45 but can accommodate a lot more. Compared to most other halls in the area, this was a lot bigger and a lot cheaper. Kitchen was good, there's a fridge/freezer and a gas hob. Parking was good. Enough for 10 cars or more if everyone parks properly. Toilets were okay. One of the WC in the ladies toilet was clogged, but couldn't complain as there was an event prior to ours and maybe it was them. We didn't use the stage, so can't comment on that. Tables were easy to assemble and decent size. Chairs were a bit old, but not too bad. Hall was spacious and tall, so even on a warm day it was still pretty cool inside with the windows and doors open. But be respectful of the neighbours. We had to close the doors and windows as one neighbour complained of the sound, although being honest we weren't really loud as we had kids with us. But anyway everything was perfect for our little one's first birthday. Talking about the one thing that upset my wife and myself was that the phone numbers never worked. We wanted to arrange a viewing of the hall to plan out for our event. Hall size and table size for decorations, speaker locations, power outlets and everything else. But no one picked up the phone. Caroline (the caretaker) was very responsive via email, but the phone numbers weren't updated and we didn't get any response. But overall, it was still worth the price we paid.
Venue reply:
Thanks for your review, Nelson. I'm sorry your call wasn't picked up - the problem was the number on Google was incorrect, and we didn't realise this, so thanks for letting me know when we met. This has now been corrected. I'm glad the party went well. Caroline (Warden)

The main room is perfect for a children's birthday party and has all the amenities needed, including folding tables, kitchen facilities, and a large amount of space. Everything was clean and tidy. The booking system was smooth and responses were quick with no issues. This is the second time we've hired the room and we'd happily do so again.

A friend and I used the Blancharde Room for a day of collaborative creative writing. The space was perfect. It was warm and comfortable with everything we needed for a creative day - kettle, relaxed easy chairs as well as formal writing space, good WiFi and a toilet near at hand. It felt faraway from all distractions and was a productive day for us. We'll be using it again in future.

I've been lucky enough to use the Helliwell room to rehearse several shows.
It's an ideal and versatile space with terrific natural light and varied electric lighting. I look forward to coming back again in the near future.
