About this space
Somervell Presbyterian Church is a progressive, affirming and welcoming church that is the perfect location to host a wedding, concert or performance. It’s also suitable for community events, art exhibitions, and many other functions. Situated minutes from Remuera and with easy access from the motorway using the Greenlane exit, and with free parking, hosting your event here could not be more convenient. We aim to meet the needs of all who would like to share and enjoy our community buildings, church and other resources. The Church is a modern building with lots of windows letting in natural light.
The Redding Lounge is suitable for up to 25 people, being about 10m x 8.5m, with the ability to use different seating - some old pew seats with cushions, an old formica table and chairs, or more functional stacking chairs.

This is the perfect space for your book club, small group discussion, coffee meeting or gathering. There is external access from the lower carpark.
