VENUE HIRE
Re-opening Hinde Street for Lettings
Update 14 September 2020
Hinde Street acknowledges the frustration and disappointment caused by this delay in reopening the church. Whilst we acknowledge that anonymous group meetings are exempt from the ‘rule of 6’ there remain some other reasons that are delaying our opening. We are now working towards opening on Monday 5 October. Further information and booking forms will be shared as soon as possible.
We sincerely apologise for this disappointment
Re-opening Hinde Street Lettings
Update 10 September 2020
We appreciate how keen so many groups are to return to meetings at Hinde Street Methodist Church. We had previously said that the church would be reopening for groups on 14 September 2020.
However, in light of the government’s announcement yesterday about it being against the law to meet people you do not live with in a group larger than 6 from Monday 14th September, we are postponing the reopening of the church. It is clear that there will be exemptions for example for education, however it is not clear yet about other groups including anonymous groups. We are awaiting the publication of the government’s legislation to provide further clarification on which groups are permitted to meet and will contact you again next week with further news.
Re-opening Hinde Street Lettings and operating with Covid-19 measures
Update 31 July 2020
We are pleased to confirm that we are making plans to reopen the church to groups on Monday 14th September. We do value you choosing to run your meeting from Hinde Street and really hope that we see you again very soon.
As you may imagine, we also have to put in place Covid-19 arrangements to help keep everyone safe. To reopen safely for everyone, we will have additional staff to facilitate extra cleaning, to help us meet our obligations under the government Test and Trace programme, remind people that masks are required to be worn inside the building, and ensure that the number of people meeting in each room does not exceed the Covid-19 room capacity, amongst other measures to minimise the spread of disease. Hinde Street hopes that you will understand that these changes are required to facilitate the safety of our guests and staff, and that some of these additional costs will be passed on to hirers.
As at 31 July 2020, treasurers/contacts for all existing groups have been contacted with this information and with further details about their group’s specific booking. We will be sending out revised Terms and Conditions in week commencing 17th August which will include details of room capacities under 1m+ physical distancing guidelines, new room rates, new payment terms and other Covid-19 related terms of hire.
Please be reassured that we have reserved all existing bookings for now and will allow time after issuing the terms and conditions for groups to confirm they would like to return and to accept both the lettings and the Covid-19 terms and conditions.
PLEASE NOTE:
There will be limited office staff until Monday 17 August, therefore if you do have any questions regarding an existing booking or a new booking request for the Church or meeting rooms, we will endeavour to respond to you during week commencing 17th August

Notice 18 June 2020
We are currently working hard to plan safe ways to open the church, in the first instance to our regular groups and hirers. The Methodist Church UK are expected to provide us with further guidance in early July and we will then be writing to all treasurers and group contacts. We really look forward to seeing you again as soon as we have adequate staffing and safety procedures in place.
Unfortunately the lack of income and no change in running costs to the church over the last few months and possibly over the next few months has left us with severe financial problems, as with many charities and organisations. If you feel you are able to donate a small about to help the church ride this period we would be tremendously grateful. Donations can be made via Virgin Money Giving | Hinde Street Methodist Church
