The ASPIRE project was set up in 2005 to co-ordinate St Mary's church as a resource for the whole community, all day, every day - not just for worship, and not just for Christians.

ASPIRE achieves its aims through

  • Arts projects - concerts, arts, festivals, performances
  • Spirituality - sharing with those of our own faith, of other faiths and of none..
  • Productivity - social enterprise, community achievement
  • Interfaith - fostering dialogue across faith boundaries
  • Reconciliation - promoting peace, unity and justice across cultures
  • Education - learning, sharing and teaching

Saint Mary's is available for meetings, conferences, performances and exhibitions. The main building is 3000sq ft and seats 500. Seating is moveable, allowing complete flexibility of the space. There is a stage area with moveable blocks and lighting, excellent accounstics, microphones and facilities for audio recording. A small meeting room near the stage area can be used as a green room or hired separately for smaller groups.

There is a kitchen area for serving drinks and light snacks. Toilets, including disabled access, are situated between the two areas. There is a loading area at the main entrance to the building. Public car parking is easily available, and private parking can be arranged if needed.
