About this space
High ceilings, original 14th-century arches, and a stained-glass window at St Ethelburga's Centre’s The Nave form the perfect backdrop for the regency ball you’ve dreamed up for your birthday.
--LATE EXTENSIONS AVAILABLE--
The Nave is a fantastic multi-purpose space that can be used for dinners, meetings, conference spaces, workshops, talks as well as parties, concerts and music events.
The space provides a unique setting, a combination of the original church structure framed by modern glass and white walls. Its high ceilings, original arches, a stained-glass window and fascinating history provide a wonderful atmosphere. Though fairly large, the space has a cosy feeling, suitable for smaller groups. Adjacent to the nave is the annex which is a perfect break out space, reception or refreshments area.
The space is equipped with a lectern, uplighters, flip charts and an upright piano. It benefits from fast WIFI, a Bose professional sound-system, an HD laser projector and wireless microphones.

Birthday Party · 100 guests
The venue was absolutely fantastic for my birthday party - with great communication from the event manager running up to the party to the caretakers on the day, helping greatly with set up! A great space just a stone's throw away from Liverpool Street so also very easily accessible for guests - thanks for having us!

About St Ethelburga's Centre
The location is a stunning venue situated near Liverpool Street. It provides a fantastic combination of intimacy and grandeur with original 14th-century arches providing the backdrop to the main space. Destroyed by an IRA bomb in 1993, it has been rebuilt with modern features and offers a unique and memorable space for any event. It is equipped with fast WiFi and has an in-house projector and sound system available in the main space.
The Bedouin Tent is a circular space, ideal for meetings and away-days, intimate gatherings and workshops, while the Nave offers a spectacular space for larger events.
This is a place like no other!
