A Venue for the Arts

Saint Mary's is a large, classically-proportioned building, which can seat an audience of 500 people. Its height receives sound readily, creating warm, magnifying acoustics. As such it is well suited both to vocalists and instrumentalists. We are located in the heart of Slough; the High Street, with a selection of restaurants and amenities, is a two minute walk from the church.

Saint Mary's is a popular venue for musical and theatrical performances. Recent performances have included Taplow Choirs and Ulster Youth Jazz Orchestra. A lunchtime concert is held every Saturday at 12pm providing a platform for local talent.

Saint Mary has a three manual organ, tuned to French diapason normal, and a Bechstein grand piano, maintained at concert pitch.

Saint Mary’s Church provides a designated arts platform for artists who seek to showcase their work. Launched in 2001 as Young Performers at Saint Mary’s, the church is committed to foster talent and creativity through the arts, and regularly host performing artists, such as the East Berkshire Youth Choir and Orchestra. We provide a central venue for the performing arts - be it through the medium of theatre, chamber opera, dance or poetry. The church also ministers to artists by providing a series of workshops, which link experienced artists with recent graduates and members of the local community in Slough.

If you are an artist and would like to receive further information, or if your business would like to support Arts at Saint Mary’s, then we would like to hear from you: please contact the Development Coordinator.
