Seating and wheelchair space

Our seating consists of individual chairs without arms. Spaces can be adjusted to accommodate specific mobility needs, such as wheelchairs within the the body of the congregation, so they can be alongside family and friends.

Before the Service

There is usually gentle background music as people arrive and chat. The atmosphere is friendly but not overly noisy.

During the Service

Everyone is encouraged to sit or stand as they are able. Communion is distributed from a step-free rail. Gluten-free bread is available, please let the Vicar know if you require it.

Children usually leave for their groups during the 10.30am service.

Quiet Space

A crèche is available for young children and parents. There is also space for anyone who may need time out during the service.

After the Service

Tea and coffee are served after the service and are easily accessible. We aim to be mindful of food allergies. Please speak to a team member if you have dietary requirements.

Toilets

There are toilets available in the church, including an accessible toilet. These can be accessed discreetly during the service.
