About St Mark's Church Hall
St Mark's Church Hall, located at the junction of Guildford Road East and Alexandra Road, is a multi-use venue, purpose-built complex fully refurbished in 2006. Offering up to 15 parking spaces, with additional on-road parking nearby, the hall is well-suited to a wide range of activities, including dance, sport, music, and movement for all ages, as well as serving local groups such as the U3A and many others.
Please note: We can no longer cater to one-off events like family celebrations.
Church Hall Details
The Main Hall is equipped with a PA system and a curtained stage, flexible seating and tables, dressing rooms, and a large mirror for dance classes and rehearsals.
In addition to the Main Hall, there are two spacious meeting rooms: the Wallis Room and the Probart Lounge. Both are well-suited to meetings and activities for smaller groups and have ample tables and chairs. The Wallis Room also has a small kitchenette for making tea and coffee (supplied by the hirer).
The complex is equipped with a professional-standard kitchen, which includes a range cooker and a fridge-freezer for preparing and serving a multi-course meal or just light refreshments. There is a supply of cups and saucers (the hirer must bring other cooking utensils, crockery, and cutlery).
Please note: Hirers of the Main Hall are also required to hire the kitchen.
The building has full disabled access and a specially adapted toilet with baby-changing facilities.
