We welcome people to come and use the church for purposes other than worship.

  • The church seats approximately 250 people and is ideal for concerts because of there are no pillars and excellent acoustics.
  • There is a new organ* and a good upright piano* available for musical concerts. 
  • We also have a 3-phase electricity source for concert lighting. 
  • There is a kitchen and seating facilities in the Parish Room which is separately heated from the church. 

  • The church also has toilets.

  • A large projector screen* and projector* are available.

  • Audio system*, with DVD, CD and Cassette players.  There are four microphones available - two of which are radio mic's (one lapel, and one handheld roving mic).  It is also possible to record your event, but this will be subject to copyright laws.

  • A member of the church will be available to assist in setting up your concert.

* for use of these items, there is an extra charge.

 

The fee for hiring the church varies by event and the time of year, which will cover all heating (where necessary) and lighting costs.  It does not, however, include any form of refreshments - these are to be provided by the group using the church.

 

If you are interested in using the Parish Room, or the church for an event, please contact us at info@staugustines-swindon.co.uk stating what you require the building to be used for, and any equipment you wish to use.  We will then cost your event and reply back to you.

 

An electronic booking form will be available soon.
