Fellowship@9

Our monthly breakfast and discussion group on the fourth Sunday of every month at 9am.

A building for the community...

We welcome enquiries from anyone needing a space for an event, whether it be a small event of up to 30 people, or a larger event such as a party/wedding reception/concert.  Now that the church is free of pews, the main space of the church (approximately the size of a tennis court) is useable, making the building a flexible, and unusual venue for an event.

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.

Marquee set up in the rear church garden for a wedding reception in March 2011

Please note that the marquee does not belong to the Church, but was hired by

the wedding couple.

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 when you wish to use the building, 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.
