All Saint's Church is available to hire for events and has been used as a filming location on several occassions. 

It is also available for wedding blessings and funeral services.

Due to its historic nature the church has no running water, electricity, toilet facilities or heating so thought needs to be given for events longer than a couple of hours. 

All Saint's Church can seat up to 200 people.
