The Nave is a stunning venue for your workshop, talk, organisational away-day, film-showing, concert, party or music event, and is equipped with projector, sound system and microphones, and an upright piano. High ceilings, original arches, a stained glass window and fascinating history provide a wonderful atmosphere.
The Bedouin Tent is a magical and unique space set in a beautiful courtyard garden. Woven from goats hair, and built on principles of sacred geometry, it is a harmonious space where people can meet as equals. It is perfect for dialogue, workshops, meetings and away days.

Tent layout and capacity
The tent is circular with cushioned bench seating around the edge. Comfortable capacity is 25 people. There are no tables in the tent and people are asked to remove their shoes before entering. The nave is a beautiful and peaceful space for a wide range of events, from meetings and workshops to conferences, talks and concerts.
Refreshments
St Ethelburga’s can provide tea, coffee and biscuits for small groups, or a full catering service. Please get in touch for menus. If you are an individual or small charity you are welcome to provide your own sandwiches or buffet style lunches / refreshments. The kitchen has basic crockery and cutlery which you are free to use, but if your event is more formal (or if you don’t want to do the washing up) you may want to hire in your own or bring paper cups / plates.
Our fantastic social enterprise catering partner is Fat Macy’s. They’re flexible, professional and, above all, the food tastes great!
A fully staffed service can be provided, or simply a tasty buffet for your guests to enjoy.
Seasoned Events can also organise certain events.
