St Michael and All Angels Lancing
St Michael's Church Hall
Location of St Michael's Church Hall
The Church Hall is located in St Michael's churchyard, at the rear of the church. Sometimes it is confused with Lancing Parish Hall next door. Lancing Parish Hall is administered by Lancing Parish Council and has nothing to do with the church.
You can get to St Michael's Church Hall via the main church path, or by the smaller path on the North side of the church, next to the G & S Kitchenware shop (see picture below).
The capacity of the Church Hall is 60 persons seated or 100 persons standing. It has a small kitchen equipped with gas cooker, kettle, tea urn, fridge, crockery, etc. People using the Church Hall are allowed to use the kitchen facilities but have to bring their own tea, coffee, milk, sugar, biscuits and any other food they require. There is communication between the main hall and the kitchen via a hatch.
Approved users may hire the Church Hall for meetings and functions (subject to availability and conditions of use). Initial enquiries from new users should be made on the downloadable application form to the Parish Priest. After approval of your application, he will put you in touch with the Church Hall Bookings Secretary.
