Room
Bookings
Wesley has an extensive
suite of rooms, and most of these are available for lettings. To arrange
a booking for one of the rooms, please e-mail
the Church Administrator or call 01702 711851.
We are very
busy with many activities seven days a week and there are some times
when no rooms are available at all - this is usually on weekday evenings,
Saturday mornings and afternoons in term time. The most popular
rooms, which are heavily used especially in the evenings, are Wesley Hall,
Youth Hall and Room 3. However, at other times there are often rooms
available.
We are accessible throughout the premises except
for the upstairs stage (and parts of the church sanctuary). There is a
lift from the ground to the first floor and an accessible toilet on the
ground floor.
Details and pictures
of the rooms are given below. The prices quoted are guide prices, which
can be reduced by agreement for regular bookings or for periods of more
than two hours. We ask for an additional deposit for children's parties,
returnable when the rooms are left clean and tidy. We do not take
bookings for parties for children over the age of 7 or for adult parties,
and we will normally only accept bookings on Sundays and in Holy Week (the
week before Easter Day) if they are for a specific Christian purpose.
You are welcome to
come in and have a look at the rooms on a weekday morning, but please note
that during school terms you will not be able to see the Youth Hall or
Room 2 as these are in use by Wesley Pre-School.

Rooms 2 and

building and upstairs are accessed via the Concourse, so it is not
normally suitable as a room to book. It can, however, be used for
informal concerts depending on what is happening in the rest of
the premises.
