PIER AVENUE BAPTIST CHURCH,
CLACTON-ON-SEA
The public and organisations such as clubs or groups are welcome to hire The Welcome Centre in order to hold their own events, clubs or activities, whether one-off occasions or on a regular basis. We are situated in Pier Avenue which is right in the centre of Clacton and we can offer you:
>> Two halls - The Welcome Hall and the Fellowship Hall
>> 1 Meeting Room - The Friendship Lounge
>> 1 Counselling Room - The Quiet Room
>> Main Auditorium
The Welcome Centre starts as you enter the new Atrium, which is the heart of the complex. Here is an area to relax or to enjoy drinks from the Servery. A place to be quiet after concentrating perhaps, or to make friends and have a chat . With its large roof lights, it has been designed to be light with good ventilation in the Summer and warm in the Winter. From here is access to the two main halls:
The light and airy hall takes around 100 people seated at tables and up to 150 seated in rows. It is ideal for all kinds of groups and, with a non-slip floor covering, it is laid out for Badminton. The main kitchen can be used to provide meals as required. It is equipped with fridge, freezer, dishwasher, cooker and plate warmer cabinet and is next to, but independent of the two halls. At the rear there are two toilets, including one for the use of the disabled. Amplification, including a loop system, is available on request.
The Fellowship hall
This hall seats around 100 people, but offers quite different facilities than the Welcome Hall. One of these is the stage, equipped with sound and lighting. A corridor leads off to the toilets (which is due for refurbishment in the coming months). To the left of the stage there is a kitchenette, ideal for serving light refreshments and drinks.
The Friendship Lounge
This is at the front of the main building and will seat around 50 people. It has easy access with a ramp for wheelchair access, and also has a coffee bar.
The Quiet Room which is ideal for counselling or for small committee meetings.
The Main Auditorium
The Church will seat around 300 and is ideal for concerts or lectures. There is a large platform, organ and piano, projection screen, and sound system including a hearing loop.
