The whole programmeBefore you come
The Nave from the gallery during an evening concert: a string quartet lit on the low stage under the brick arches, the audience in shadow.

Three rooms, one building

Built for voices

The chapel was built in 1868 by the wharf workers of Saltmarket Street. Its walls still carry a voice to the back of the gallery without a microphone.

  • The Nave

    The chapel itself: lime-washed, brick-arched, with the 1871 organ.

    380 seated rows · 600 standing

  • The Vestry

    A small arched room for talks, rehearsals and recitals.

    60 seated rows · 24 boardroom

  • The Yard

    The walled courtyard with the bar, open in all weathers.

    150 standing · 80 seated

About the building
A wedding ceremony in the Nave seen from the back of the aisle, the couple under the brick arch, guests on both sides.
