The church building
The church and rooms in the Jubilee Building are available for regular
and occasional bookings, providing a valuable resource for the local community and much-needed income for the church.
The church building makes an excellent venue for larger events and is often used by choirs and orchestras for regular rehearsals and concerts. It also serves as a polling station and a place for local schools to hold their carol services.
