Our unusual flat ceiling bounces sound back to your audience with the most resplendent and mellow tones, gently reverberating. Similar to when you're in a huge parking garage and your voice carries so much more gravitas, that is what we are, except a two hundred year old sacred space.
With incredible acoustics, a magnificent Grand Piano, organ, catering facilities and disability access, toilets we are your perfect host venue. There is a car park with additional street parking. St John's prides itself upon being accessible to all, please get in touch to find our hiring charge.
