St Chad's - Anglican Parish of West New Plymouth

St Chad's is the Anglican Parish of West New Plymouth, based at 12 Omata Road, New Plymouth. Alongside its parish activities, it makes both its hall and its church available for hire by outside groups.

Spaces for hire

The parish lists two hireable spaces — the hall and the church itself — and describes them as suitable for a range of uses including training, small group workshops, children's birthday parties, corporate gatherings and dance groups. That mix suggests a flexible flat-floor hall rather than a fitted-out meeting room.

Hire is handled by two different contacts. Hall hire enquiries go to Flourish Taranaki, and church hire enquiries go to the parish directly on 027 327 6832.

What is not published

Capacity, room dimensions, catering arrangements, kitchen facilities, audiovisual equipment and hire rates are not published on the parish website. Anyone planning an event here will need to confirm those directly. There is no indication of on-site catering, so organisers should expect to arrange their own.

Suitability

As a parish facility, St Chad's sits at the community end of the venue market — a practical, low-cost space for training days, workshops, rehearsals and small gatherings rather than a serviced conference venue. Its Omata Road location puts it in western New Plymouth, a short drive from the city centre, with the usual advantages of a suburban site: easier parking and a quieter setting than a central venue.
