Our Centre & Staff
Our rooms and Worship Area are available for hire on weekdays and Saturdays and the centre is open on weekdays for bookings and activities.
We don’t limit ourselves to room rentals, though a large variety of groups do meet here on a regular basis. We also run several groups ourselves and these include Family café with Church Mice, Mini Mints, Knitting and Hand-craft group, an Afghan Refugee Social group, Prayer and Bible Study groups, Fellowship Group and a weekly coffee morning. You can find out more information about these and many other groups in our Activities @ The Mint booklet.

We even have some groups who rent rooms on Saturdays and this includes a children’s drama group and a variety of choir and musical performances and workshops.
Our Welcome Area is often teeming with life these days (especially in the mornings). None of these groups could run without the leadership, help and support of volunteers, for which we are so grateful.

Our Centre & its History
The Mint is a unique building, dating back in parts to 1813 when the original Methodist chapel opened. During the Victorian period the chapel was enlarged, the Mint Lane Day School was opened and the Rowe Memorial Hall was added. By the mid-sixties the old church had become unsafe and was demolished to be replaced by the existing Worship Area.
In 2010 a further major project was completed, creating a new entrance and reception area, modernising our facilities and making the premises accessible to all.
