Hiring the church

Breathtaking event space in the heart of the City

  • The Cloister

    Hire our ancient cloister for receptions, parties, or private dining. We are fully licensed to sell alcohol and can put you in touch with local caterers whom we often work with. We can host 80-100 standing and 50 seated.

  • The Church

    The main body of the Church can be hired for concerts, carol services, plays, and filming. We can normally seat 240 people or can hire in extra chairs to take us to our capacity of 500. There are separate pages for booking the church for weddings, funerals, or christenings.

  • Carol Services

    Book London’s oldest surviving parish church for your carol service. Dozens of charities, schools, and local companies use St Bartholomew the Great for their annual Carol Service or Carol Concert. We can seat up to 500 people and host a reception afterwards.

  • St Bartholomew the Less

    The Hospital Church of St Bartholomew the Less has wonderful acoustics and can be hired for concerts or lectures at a considerably reduced rate from St Bartholomew the Great. We can seat 100 in the pews and boxed pews.
