The Centre

The location and facilities of St George's West Church Centre make it an ideal meeting place and venue at the heart of the city. The building occupies a prime corner site on the main thoroughfare between Haymarket and Princes Street, its tower one of the city’s landmarks. (see map and directions).

Following a £500,000 redevelopment, St George’s West now offers three multi-purpose function rooms and three versatile larger spaces for more unique events. These rooms are available to hire for an assortment of events and activities from a small committee meeting, weekend conference or wedding reception. We are able to host groups of 5 to 500 and the lift insures all rooms are fully accessible. More information on room hire...

We hold a full Entertainments Licence and can provide catering and/ or bar facilities should you require them from the Olive Tree Café.

The building also hosts a variety of organisations that share our values.

"Hospitality is not to change people, but to offer them space where change can take place. It is not to bring men and women over to our side, but to offer freedom not disturbed by dividing lines…The paradox of hospitality is that it wants to create emptiness, not a fearful emptiness; but a friendly emptiness where strangers can enter and discover themselves as created free; free to sing their own songs, speak their own languages, dance their own dances; free also to leave and follow their own vocations.

Hospitality is not a subtle invitation to adopt the life style of the host, but the gift of a chance for the guests to find their own."
