Versatile space with access to a comprehensive kitchen (at additional cost). Step free access from the street.

All bookings require a £300 security deposit (terms below). We hope that this ensures all bookers are respectful of both the space and the staff at the church. Events finishing after 9pm will also be required to pay the late lock-up fee.

  • The venue must be fully vacated by the exact end time of your event
  • The caretaker must be able to lock the doors of the venue at this time

The Hospitality Room was hired for a meeting of Sion College - 30 persons for 2 hours. The place was warm, there was plenty of room and it was a very convenient place to meet for us coming from next door at 42 Balaam St. Many thanks for the loan of the water boiler. Sam SSF

This was a lovely venue for my daughter’s 4th birthday party. We had access to the kitchen, lots of adult chairs and tables. We were able to rearrange the furniture but had to put everything back after the function. The caretaker was amazing and so helpful. Overall a lovely little venue for a small party. The venue is a bit dated but with your own decorations you can make it work. We book again in the near future!!

We hired the Keogh Room, which was a fantastic space. We had access to a microwave, tea and coffee-making facilities, and more. Access was provided on time, and the communication throughout was excellent. Overall, I’d definitely recommend it. However, management should consider updating the restroom, as it’s very outdated. The flush is operated by a chain positioned around 6ft high, making it difficult for children and shorter individuals to use. A renovation would make the experience much more accessible and comfortable for all guests.
