Room Hire

Community Events Room Hire

If you are thinking of holding a community event, we would be delighted if you were to consider using our Church Centre. Please read through the attached information and contact us if you have any queries about its contents.

You will find some additional information including floor plans and photos of all the rooms on our website. Just click on the “Room Hire” link on the “contact us” dropdown menu on the homepage (www.TeddingtonBaptist.org.uk). If you don’t have access to the Internet then get in touch with the Church Office and we will gladly answer any questions you might have. We would also be very pleased to arrange for a visit to the Church Centre so you can see the available rooms and facilities before you make your decision - we are very willing to discuss your requirements with you to see if we can help in any way.

For most events, we can give you a very quick decision on whether the event is suitable for the accommodation we have available and a quotation on the price. In some cases we might have to think through whether it fits with our ethos or how the event might fit in with other bookings which have been made for the same time. However, we would still try to let you have a decision as quickly as possible.
