Cross Street Chapel now has a new website specific for people looking to book the space! Please visit us at http://www.cross-street-chapel-lettings.org.uk
Cross Street Chapel provides lettings in a clean, attractive and safe atmosphere. Staff are present on site to help with your needs. Some groups have stayed with us for over a decade, which we feel demonstrates our commitment to providing a warm, welcoming and supportive experience.
We host groups of all sizes, including both for-profit and charitable groups. We have hosted multi-day conferences and one-to-one interviews. For long-term lettings some storage space may be available. Equipment, including digital projectors, can be provided on request. WiFi is available throughout the building. Tea and coffee can be provided for an additional charge.
“The space is just wonderful, and we have enjoyed hosting a series of important events here. The facilities are spotless and fully equipped. The staff are amazing, relaxed yet very professional. We cannot thank you enough for hosting us. Wonderful vibe, so efficient and yet calm” – Annie Cunningham – Women’s Programme Coordinator LGBT Foundation
“Very accommodating staff. The facilities are wonderful with a brilliant kitchen. We only have positive to say about Cross Street Chapel, it is a great venue!” – City of Sanctuary UK
“Cross Street Chapel has been an ideal venue for our monthly meetings, having several rooms with a big table to sit round. We had struggled for years to find somewhere warm, quiet, wheelchair accessible AND affordable to meet on a weekday evening in the city centre – the Unitarians came to our rescue! It is also a great building for events, with flexible and thoughtful staff helping to make them a relaxed affair” – Greater Manchester Housing Action (GMHA) Steering Group
