Hiring in Amersham
Amersham Friends Meeting House
Hospitable, tranquil and accessible. This 17th century building, sited in a meadow, benefits from modern kitchen and toilet facilities, yet retains its sense of history and heritage.
The Meeting House is in Old Amersham and near the Hospital
and the Crematorium.
The building is suitable for events such as community meetings, discussion or study groups, exhibitions, gatherings of family and friends and children’s parties. The meadow and gardens are also available for hire, with on site free parking for all hirers.
About the facilities
The two main rooms can be used as one by opening an original sash
wooden screen which separates them. Together they would accommodate a public meeting of 90 comfortably.
For separate meetings or buffets there are tables, chairs and benches
which can be arranged by the hirer to suit the occasion.
Use of the kitchen is included free of charge with any booking. Hot and cold drinks, biscuits and cakes can be served from a wide hatch opening into the lobby. Additional pre-prepared foods can be enjoyed at occasional, small and simple events, or professional outside caterers may be engaged to provide refreshments.
There is accessibility for wheelchair users from the car park and around the inside of the building. An accessible toilet includes nappy changing facilities.
Free WiFi is available.
A separate meeting room, accommodating up to 10 people comfortably, can be used for small meetings or for counselling.
