Using our premises
We are always delighted when groups or individuals approach us, asking to use our halls, or indeed the church, for events that they are holding. Greyfriars Church plays host to a number of organisations from Power Hooping and Lanark Camera Club to Taekwondo and the Lanark & Carluke Choral Union and many more. We are also pleased to be able to allow people to book our halls and kitchen for birthdays parties, both for adults and children.
Our church can now be used in a variety of ways, and below are simply some of our ideas. If you would like to know more about using the church, please see contact us.

Full use of building for shows
Many organisations use the entire church premises for shows or performances. The cost for hiring our buildings for this use is a flat rate of £225 per performance (along with a similar £225 rate per dress rehearsal if all areas of the building are required otherwise a reduced rate may be able to be negotiated). This also includes the use of a full sound and lighting rig that can be used by suitably qualified operators. Greyfriars Church can provide technicians at a cost of £45 (each for sound and light) per performance. It is also possible for groups to record or livestream their performance using our cameras. Please note there is an additional cost for this and the group will be responsible for all licenses that are required (such as PRS etc)
Children’s birthday parties
£45 for hall and kitchen (2 hour party with 45 minutes set up and 45 minutes clear up time)
