Hiring the chapel

< Organising events

Attractive restoration, a heating system and moveable seating for 140 people make the chapel a comfortable and versatile venue. In addition to funeral services, the unique building is used for concerts, arts and crafts exhibitions, meetings, lectures and other functions.

Musicians and singers enjoy performing in the chapel with its excellent acoustics. It is also the venue for the Friends of York Cemetery's very popular annual Carol Concert in December.

The chapel provides ample space and good natural light for exhibitions of fine art, photography and crafts.

All functions are subject to agreement by the Office Administrator and require a refundable deposit. If you are interested in hiring the chapel, please contact the Office Administrator well in advance in order to discuss your ideas and to secure your desired dates.
