The refurbished Community Hall at St. Athanasios is now open for bookings

The Community Hall was recently refurbished and modernised, in part with a generous grant from Cambridge City Council, for which we are grateful. The building has been brought up to a modern standard, with LED lighting as well as plenty of natural light, a new floor, new chairs and tables, baby changing and disabled facilities, and is compliant with all current building regulations.

The Hall is divided into the Small Hall and the Large Hall using a moveable soundproof partition. The two Halls can be used simultaneously for different purposes and each has its own entrance. The partition can also be folded back to make the two areas into the Combined Hall.

A newly fitted kitchen consists of two cookers, a food warmer cabinet, two sinks, fridge, dishwasher and plenty of food preparation area. The kitchen is connected to the Small Hall via a shuttered service window.

The Combined Hall has a maximum capacity of 200 (for insurance reasons) and it will comfortably accommodate 120 seated banquet-style while still leaving enough room for a dance floor.

There is also off-street parking for around 15 cars, but please note this is not available before 6pm on Saturdays or 4pm on Sundays.

The premises have a WiFi Internet connection available for the use of hirers and guests.

The Hall is now available for hire. There are three different price tiers depending on the use. You will be able to hire the Small Hall, the Large Hall or the Combined Hall.
