    (just off Gloucester Road)

    The hall is in a beautiful green and spacious area – peaceful with mature trees, and plenty of fresh air. It is spacious with a lovely high ceiling, plenty of good ventilation, and a gorgeous fully sprung wooden dance floor.

    IMPORTANT:
    The Parish Church HALL is on the LEFT side of Wellington Hill as you come up from Gloucester Road.
    (The postcode alone will take you to the church, not the hall!)

    There’s a car park and plenty of street parking right outside, as well as buses up Gloucester Road.
