First Floor

Askew Road Church

Sanctuary - Worship Area - max 200 people

The worship space seats over 200 people. The wall of south-facing windows keeps it light all year round. Worship styles vary from hymns to more modern songs, with preaching and prayer in line with both Methodist and United Reformed traditions. Formality is kept to a minimum.
Askew Road Church values the friendly and open atmosphere of its worship.  Sunday Worship at 11.00am is preceded by singing led by members of the congregation from 10.45am. 

At Christmas and Easter special services are held. Services are also occasionally held on Sunday evenings at 6.00pm.
The worship area is restricted to use for Christian worship and music. It is available for weddings, funerals and baptisms at the discretion of the minister. It is not generally hired out but has occasionally been used as a film or tv location. 

Conference Room - max 40 people

This light and airy room is ideal for business meetings and seminars and can also be used for dance and exercise classes. It can be hired separately, or in combination with one or more other rooms.
There are two toilets on the first floor and a utility room for the preparation of light refreshments.
