OUR HISTORY
From its construction in 1894, in memory of philanthropist Thomas Coats, the former church has seen a lot of history and been through many changes. From its start as the largest Baptist church in Britain the building has since fallen into disrepair and transformed with a renovation by community fundraising campaign to become the stunning and all-welcoming hosting space it is today.
With a breathtaking nave with seating for 800, a large ballroom below and an eight-arched crown spire, it is truly the most unique and unforgettable venue hire in Paisley. Along with the smaller function rooms and catering kitchen, we offer a 'ready to go' venue for events of all types and sizes.
