Parish Church



The Parish Church of St John Baptist is a wonderful setting for musicians, choirs or just holding a celebratory event.

This historic church with its soaring pillars and atmosphere of history offers great acoustics and a feeling of occasion.

The refurbished Father Willis organ is world class.

The Genesis Window in the Trinity Chapel



 

The Church now has a new limestone floor which gives a good impression of space. The North and South aisles are now free from pews so flexible arrangements of chairs can be used.

Around 350 seats are available. More seating will require liaison with our team. This also applies if staging is needed

 
The new nave floor

 


Although it is possible to serve refreshments as part of an event, sale of alcohol will need a Temporary Event Notice for which the Hirer must apply to the Cotswold District Council. If the combined number of audience, performers and stewards exceeds 499 persons then a Premises Licence will be needed.

Those who are interested in using the Parish Church as a venue for their event are invited to talk with the Parish Administrator at the Parish office to discuss the needs of their event.

 

 

It is also possible to hire Holy Trinity, Watermoor. Some hirers sometimes find this a more intimate environment for a special service e.g. School carol service, school leavers' service, school harvest festival etc.
