The church has a comfortable Community Room at street level which can be hired for groups, classes, courses, children’s parties, retreats, and more. There is a well-equipped kitchen and disabled access toilets.
The church boasts a beautiful chapel area built into the cliff, which is accessed via the gently sloped stairs to the side of the building, or via the internal stairs. Please note that the main chapel is, unfortunately, not easy to reach in a wheelchair.
There is a car park conveniently situated across the road from the church building which is free after 6pm every evening.
The Chapel is equipped with a Pavey sound system which includes a 100watt 8 channel mixer/amp + speakers and stands – more than sufficient for either the lower room or the main chapel. Hirers will need to provide a sound source (e.g. a laptop + CDs or tape deck, etc) for playing music, or instruments and mics for making music. This equipment takes the strain out of kids disco parties, music group/band rehearsals and concerts and the like. Contact us for more details and to discuss your requirements.
Please note that the Fishermen’s Chapel is, along with all Methodist churches, an alcohol-free building.
Photos of both of the spaces can be found below. Please contact us if you are interested in using either space.
