About this space

--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.

The venue looked better in person. Lovely space, really beautiful. Location, really close to Liverpool Street Station. Caretaker really nice and easy to talk to.

I paid for a doorman but there was no doorman on the day. The caretaker on site that day was not on ground during the event, he stayed in the office and we were asked to call him on the phone if needed. Which is fine but it was difficult to actually do. It would have been nice if he came downstairs to check in every now and again DURING the event.

I couldn't have found a better venue for my book launch. The ambience, the set up with a little space on the side for drinks & nibbles, the 'stage' area for conducting a q&a session, the projector screen, the lighting - everything was perfect. And Alastair was great to liaise with, answering all questions promptly. All the guests who attended the book launch unanimously said it was the perfect place for it. I'll definitely be booking it again for future events.

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.

We can offer catering from light refreshments right up to a fully staffed service. Or, if you are an individual or small charity, simply bring your own and use our kitchen.

This is a place like no other!
