St Augustine's Church Hall (SS1 3HX)
A view from the hall, looking toward the church
The Church Hall is located on the corner of Johnstone Road and Parkanaur Ave, just two minutes walk from the church. The address is slightly different to the church, so enter SS1 3HX into your Satnav and you'll be there in no time!, if you're on foot, put your back to the main doors of the church and walk in a straight line for two minutes, the hall is on your left hand side.
The hall is available for hire for your local group to meet up, for that special birthday party, for that Salsa class you've always wanted to start, or for any activity that needs a large well maintained indoor space, with a stage, toilets and kitchen facilities.
Interior view looking towards the stage, kitchen and toilets are on the left.
The interior is bright and clean with good lighting for evening events. Stackable tables and chairs are available if required.
The hall measures approximately 15 metres (49 ft) long by 9 metres (29 ft) wide, giving a total area of 135 sq metres (1421 sq ft). The stage is 6.1 metres (20 ft) wide by 5.3 metres (17 ft) deep, although the stage narrows from the front towards the rear.
Stage Refurbishment - The stage, particularly the front area which protrudes into the main hall, was becoming badly worn and the potential for trips and falls was becoming serious. We have refurbished the surface completely, boarding with plywood and surfacing with a commercial vinyl. The stage floor now looks really good and is safe, however please be aware that the screens at the rear of the stage which used to swivel are now fixed in place. Please do not attempt to move them. Thank you.
Wedding Receptions: The hall is a great place to hold your wedding reception, please contact the hall manager (below) for more info.
PARKING
