The Sanctuary
Accessed primarily from the main side entrance on the roadway to the public car park, with no-step access and a ramp into the Sanctuary itself, it seats between 100-120 people (100 red chairs with the option of a further 20 blue chairs). Please note that hirers will need to put their own chairs out and away after hire.
There is also the possibility of further seating on pews and chairs in the gallery above, for about 100, but please be aware that sight-lines and sound are not good. Note: use of the gallery must be requested separately as it is kept locked for safety reasons.
The Sanctuary has a large dais with comprehensive PA and video projection system, hearing aid “T” loop, organ, & piano for which a request to use can be made (use of AV system must be prearranged and training given).
The Sanctuary has underfloor heating and electric boosters if required. The space is flexible, warm and light. Access for special occasions is also available through the main front doors.
The Meeting Place (Lounge)

Kitchen
With double range oven, double sink (for hand washing and for dish-washing), microwave and fridge, crockery and cutlery. The kitchen is between The Meeting Place (lounge) up three steps, or down a flight of stairs from the Crendon Hall. We do ask regular hirers to launder any tea-towels used and bring them back. Occasional/one-off hirers may bring their own tea-towels to use.

The hall has two toilets (and access to two further toilets on the next floor if needed), and a very small kitchenette space giving access to drinking water and a sink for washing up. Tables and chairs must be pre-booked (hirers will need to put chairs out and away). Crendon Hall is not suitable for access by buggies or wheelchairs.
