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.

Party · 150 guests · December 2025
This is a very special venue - which feels like being transported to another world. Ioannis and everyone were so helpful at every stage. I hope we will be able to come back here every year. Our guests loved it. It has been a very harsh year (again) and our group appreciated the space to be quiet and contemplative as well as the most glamourous dancefloor you could imagine.
Nothing - I cannot fault the venue or the staff.
