St Laurence’s church costs approximately £1000 a day to keep the roof on and the doors open, ensuring that it is a welcoming place to visit – and events help to support the church and make it available for future generations.

Events also cost money to host – we appreciate that different events will have different sizes of audiences and fees may be varied accordingly – we try and reflect this in our charges.

For more information about costs, please contact the Parish Office.

St Laurence’s is a busy place so we publish our diary to keep everyone informed – please look at the calendar and use it to check what is happening.

If the date in the calendar is free there is a good chance that it is available but please don’t assume – there may be an event not yet booked in or something happening in the church that prevents an event taking place.

When you have found some possible dates then please contact the Parish Office.

Talk to us – we are used to hosting events in St Laurence’s and can help you with the things that you need to think about.

Our booking form provides us with basic information to get your event booked in and it will give you some guidelines. We also have a checklist which we will run through with you nearer the event – this ensures that nothing is missed.

You are responsible for advertising your own event and we would advise you to get in touch with the various town websites and local newspapers. We can help by putting posters you provide in our boards; we will also attach posters to prominent places inside and outside the church.

The church calendar on our website will list your event. We also encourage you to make full use of social media.
