Reviews

“The EKUC has always been kind, generous, and accommodating for our organisation. We run several meetings a week in the building to support recovering drug addicts and find the people who run it to be very appreciative of our efforts. We especially like the new folks who have come in to reinvigorate the church, they have worked tirelessly to bring everything into good order and improve our relationship with the church. As things stand we will be continuing our arrangement for many months, maybe even years to come. Our mission depends on stability and reliability and that’s what we get with the Edmund Kell Unitarian Church.”

“I recently rented your venue, and I wanted to share my feedback. I was very satisfied with the experience. The space was exactly what I needed, and it included everything: heating, music, tables, and chairs. The owner was kind and easy to work with, which made the entire process even better. I truly appreciated the great service and affordable price I will definitely rent this venue again in the future. Thank you for everything!”

“This was an ideal venue for our charity Christmas social. A good size room for our group of 30 and could easily have accommodated 40. Nicely equipped and decorated. Well stocked with crockery & glasses. Great to have the disco lights and a sound system.”

“The room upstairs was tranquil, warm and perfect for our workshop. There were plenty of tables, chairs, a projector, a lift for access. We had a water urn and could get cups, plates and spoons from the kitchen downstairs. The staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend the venue.”
