All Saints Centre
The All Saints Centre is a beautiful Grade 2* listed converted church that has been a much loved community, arts and youth centre for over 40 years.
The centre is used for both private and public events. There are two different halls to hire, both respecting the history of the church while providing a light and airy, flexible space.
We are licensed for live and record events and hold a premises license for the sale of alcohol. We offer very reasonable hire charges, and discounts for voluntary/community sector organisations and registered charities.
Venue information
The All Saints Centre is only a five minute walk from the centre of Lewes, a number of car parks and very close to the train station.
Our two halls at the All Saints Centre can be hired for a diverse range of activities.
The Main Hall is a very flexible space and can cater for weddings, lectures, live music events, theatre, workshops, exercise classes, markets, dances, private parties, playgroups and films.
The Small Hall is perfect for small meetings, dance and exercise classes, life drawing and intimate rehearsals.
Our Main Hall is fully accessible on the ground floor. Access to the balcony seating is via stairs. To access the Small Hall there are three steps from the side entrance, however alternative level access can be made arranged in advance, depending on the building hire.
