St Stephen’s is an idea location to host concerts, special events and graduations. It is centrally located just to the east of the city centre, and has beautiful acoustics for choirs and small instrumental ensembles to perform.

The church holds a maximum of 250 people.

Things to note:

• No alcohol is permitted in the body of the church.
• St Stephen’s church is wheelchair accessible, and there is no wheelchair accessible toilet.
• The hire of the church includes the use of an upright Petrof piano. The tuning of this piano is the event organiser’s responsibility.
• All performances must be finished by 10.00pm, and the church and hall completely vacated by 10.45pm. If an event over runs this time, an additional charge will be made for each hour or part of an hour after 10.45pm.
• You will need to provide proof of your own insurance that indemnifies the Select Vestry of St Ann’s and St Stephen’s and the Representative Church Body of the Church of Ireland against all claims arising out of the use of the church, Molesworth Hall, or other rooms. The insurance should include as a minimum Public Liability cover of €6.5 million, and Employers Liability cover of €13 million.
• In the case of public institutions not having insurance, a letter must be provided in advance confirming that they will hold harmless the church and the RCB from any loss or accident.
• We do not supply any staging, lighting or sound equipment in the church. It is up to the event organiser to source and pay for any equipment required, and to gain agreement from the church for the time taken to set up and take down this equipment.

Promotion of events is the sole responsibility of the organiser. Although requests may be accommodated to put up a poster on our notice board, or list an event on our website, the church accepts no responsibility to promote events on your behalf.
