Church Centre Facilities

St Mark’s Church Centre is available for outside use by local groups, companies, clubs and for social purposes.

The Church Centre comprises:       

  • The Church Hall and the Church: the church is connected to the hall by a connecting foyer and corridor.
  • In this corridor there are newly refurbished ladies' and men's toilets and a toilet for the disabled. The toilets are equipped with a nappy changing facility.

A door from the foyer opens onto a car park which has thirty-three parking spaces including a space for the disabled. During the working week most of these spaces are used by a local company during the day, but there are always five car parking spaces available to Church and Hall users: notionally 2 for the Church and 2 for Hall Users plus the space for the disabled. After 6.00pm and all day on Saturdays and Sundays, all the parking spaces are available (33 spaces).

There is also a second entrance for pedestrians from the Church Path that runs the full length of the Centre to Reigate Hill from Alma Road. (See ‘Find Us’)

The total Hall area includes three areas, which can be used flexibly depending on the event (plan not to scale). These are:

  • The main hall;

  • The Green Room;

  • The Committee Room.

There is also a kitchen.  This plan is not to scale.
