Next Door Hextable is a place of welcome that serves all, through outward-facing positive social impact & distinctive presence, resources geographic, community enabling new possibilities, & partnerships in attractive & accessible surroundings. The project increases the community capacity of the parish church from 453sqm to 913sqm, providing improved kitchen, toilet and disabled access, and reflects partnership, welcome and collaboration.

Next Door Hextable provides a place of welcome where people can meet, eat and relax together. There is no other facility providing this in the local area and we believe our venue will continue to serve the community well long into the future.

Next Door Hextable incorporates a visual arts program as part of its commitment to creativity.

Various artists exhibit their work in the café and other spaces within the building. Artists exhibit for 6-8 weeks at a time, showing, sharing and selling of their work. For further information please contact Sue Haward at 07791840126 or office@stph.org.uk
