The St Cuthbert's Centre was developed in the 1990s and is a Mission Project of the United Reformed Church. The Northern Synod of the URC takes responsibility for its management, life and ministry. Finding inspiration in the pastoral and missionary gifts of St Cuthbert we offer groups and churches a modern, well equipped building, adaptable for a range of activities.
Visitors will find a light, attractive and comfortable multipurpose hall, seating up to 45 people. The space is easily convertible from a sanctuary into a workshop area or somewhere to eat together.
Our spacious gallery is particularly suitable for small group work and The Old Boiler House Chapel, a place with a very special atmosphere, is suitable for individual reflection, meditation and prayer.
The Centre is surrounded by pleasant gardens which, like the Centre itself, are accessible to wheel chair users. Sculpures by Jean Parker are another attractive garden feature.
For a small fee, (guideline price £1 per person per hour or part thereof), churches and groups can book the Centre for their own ‘Away Day’ or Quiet Day. Facilities include: digital projector (group to provide computer), electronic keyboard, public address system, seating for 45 persons,
kitchen for light refreshments. Our Warden will be happy to help you plan your day and to participate. She will also be happy to let you ‘do your own thing’. It is possible to use the Centre for longer periods whilst staying in one of the Island’s hotels, bed and breakfasts or self-catering cottages. Further information is available from our Warden or from the Holy Island web site.
