Exhibitions:
- the nave – there are two walls which can be hired for exhibitions. Any work would need to be hung on picture rails via standard brass picture hooks. Slimline lighting strip runs the length of the picture rail to highlight our banners or your exhibition.
- other areas in the church – such as the central crossing, east end and Heritage Gallery may be considered for exhibitions if it does not cause obstruction or disrupt the daily ebb and flow of church life.
- the church grounds – exhibitions can be held in the church grounds. The pathways lend themselves beautifully to lead people around the church viewing either large sculptural works, photography or banner art work.
Grounds: during certain times of the year the grounds are available to hire. All enquiries are welcome.
