About this space
High ceilings, original 14th-century arches, and a stained-glass window at St Ethelburga's Centre’s The Nave form the perfect backdrop for the regency ball you’ve dreamed up for your birthday.
--LATE EXTENSIONS AVAILABLE--
The Nave is a fantastic multi-purpose space that can be used for dinners, meetings, conference spaces, workshops, talks as well as parties, concerts and music events.
The space provides a unique setting, a combination of the original church structure framed by modern glass and white walls. Its high ceilings, original arches, a stained-glass window and fascinating history provide a wonderful atmosphere. Though fairly large, the space has a cosy feeling, suitable for smaller groups. Adjacent to the nave is the annex which is a perfect break out space, reception or refreshments area.
The space is equipped with a lectern, uplighters, flip charts and an upright piano. It benefits from fast WIFI, a Bose professional sound-system, an HD laser projector and wireless microphones.

Sonia was an incredible liaison, so helpful, kind, so responsive and helped us ensure the space was set up with just what we needed. The space has such a beautiful ambiance and energy, it lent itself perfectly to our Breathwork event. It was really nice to utilize the lights that we could choose the color from which really added to the whole feeling. Very special place!

Graduation Party · 70 guests
We hosted my cousin's grad party at The Nave and it was perfect! The venue was spacious, spotless, and ideally located. The sound system was outstanding, making the music crisp and lively. We also used the beautiful, airy garden, which added a lovely touch to the event. It was an amazing experience and I won't look anywhere else for my next party!
The kitchen is tiny! Fortunately, our caterers made it work. But this is just something to note if you're looking for a space with a large kitchen.

Beautiful space, and great customer service with the venue team. Really quick responses, very friendly to work with, and helpful on the day.
The fridge / freezer facilities were pretty limited, and having to pay extra for lots of small things added up a lot so that overall it wasn't great value for money.

About St Ethelburga's Centre
The location is a stunning venue situated near Liverpool Street. It provides a fantastic combination of intimacy and grandeur with original 14th-century arches providing the backdrop to the main space. Destroyed by an IRA bomb in 1993, it has been rebuilt with modern features and offers a unique and memorable space for any event. It is equipped with fast WiFi and has an in-house projector and sound system available in the main space.
The Bedouin Tent is a circular space, ideal for meetings and away-days, intimate gatherings and workshops, while the Nave offers a spectacular space for larger events.
This is a place like no other!
