Hire Our Wonderful Space
An open-air space with some cover, St George's offers an atmospheric and unique space for celebrations of all descriptions. If you would like to hold an event – be it a theatrical or musical performance, a community function, a personal birthday party for friends and family, or a religious service, please get in touch.
There is a small kitchen, toilet facilities and space for a marquee/gazebos. The Garrison holds a full premises licence for hosting events and the sale of alcohol. Past events include summer parties, wedding blessings & receptions, christenings, plays, filming, musical performances, dance, comedy evenings, cinema nights, plus services for Christmas, St George's Day and Remembrance.

Weddings at the Garrison Church
The Church is a unique and beautiful venue for a wedding for up to 150 guests (seated) or a maximum capacity of 200 guests.
The Church remains consecrated ground therefore it is not possible to hold a civil ceremony here. As a religious venue the Church falls outside the Diocesan framework which means that a full legal and religious marriage can only take place with an Archbishop’s Licence.
What some couples prefer to do is to have the legal formalities dealt with at Woolwich Town Hall and then have a Service of Blessing at the Church afterwards. That is effectively indistinguishable from a conventional Church wedding with the vows, and the public declaration that the couple are now “man and wife”.
One great advantage of the Garrison Church as a wedding venue is that the Service of Blessing and the reception can take place at the same place. Once the main gates are shut, guests can be fully at ease in the knowledge that the Church is fully secure, and there is no danger of children wandering toward the road.
We urge any couples thinking of hiring the Church for a wedding to come and visit the place and see for themselves what an extraordinary venue it is. We feel that the Church offers a beautiful location for such an important occasion, and that guests will long remember the day.
We welcome all different sizes and types of wedding.
