Community Halls - Matlock Methodist & United Reformed Church

Oak Road, Matlock, DE4 3FJ, Derbyshire, England

When the Church was modernised, extended and literally 'turned around' in a £500,000 project completed in 1997 the Worship Centre and Community Halls were transformed by being equipped with good heating, double/triple glazing and a full kitchen refurbishment. The building and halls are maintained to a good standard of decoration and cleanliness and there are plenty of resources with tables and chairs, crockery and cookware.

Entrances:

The Community Halls that are on the lower level of the Church can be accessed directly by an entrance on the lower side of the Church building from Bank Road (through the parking area). Internal stairs and a lift connect the upper and lower floors. The main entrance to the Church Worship Centre is on Oak Road, on the upper side of the Church building. Both entrances have free-of-steps access.

Capacity:

There are three Community Halls beneath the Church Worship Centre. Hall 1 has capacity for 180 people and Halls 2 & 3 individually can accommodate up to 30 people each. Halls 2 & 3 are separated by a glazed, sliding partition which allows them to be combined to accommodate up to 60 people. Seating downstairs is on a combination of padded and non-padded stackable chairs. Folding tables are also available.

The Church Worship Room is on the upper level of the Church building and has a seating capacity of 250. The seating is on individual padded chairs and these can be arranged to suit various styles of use.

Stackable padded chairs are available as are folding tables and there are also chairs and folding tables available for children.
