Hiring the Facilities at St Boniface Centre

The St Boniface Centre provides high-quality facilities that can be hired by suitable users for a fee. The facilities are all carpeted and at ground level and comprise the Main Hall (with a central non-carpeted area suitable for dancing, and a pull-down projection screen), a well-equipped kitchen, a small lounge (the Cloister Lounge, overlooking the Garden of Rest), and cloakrooms and toilets with facilities for the disabled and for nappy changing.  Upstairs there are two rooms, the Small Upper and the Large Upper. All rooms are equipped with adequate seating and tables for most uses. There is also a video-player and a portable public address system available to hirers, by prior arrangement with the  Parish Office, at no extra charge.

If you want to hire the Centre, whether for a regular activity, or a one-off event (such as a child's or baptism party, wedding reception, funeral wake, etc.), then please contact the Parish Office. A volunteer team is sometimes able to provide refreshments for funeral wakes and baptism parties held at the Centre.  Please enquire at the Parish Office when you book one of these events.
