Description
This former congregational church pairs its Grade I and Grade II* listed setting with an 1877 hydraulic organ, programming everything from jazz gigs and spoken word to cultural events. It also functions as an active hub running social initiatives like The Margins Project. During events, performances fill the main chapel, while drinks are kept strictly to designated side bar spaces.
