St John's Church is a stunning wedding venue and can seat over 200 in the main nave.

All who live in the parish are welcome to marry at St John's Church, whatever your beliefs, whether or not you are baptised (christened) and regardless of whether you come to church or not. It's your church and we welcome you.
