Venue Hire
St Nicholas is a striking venue and provides high quality versatile accommodation for a wide range of events including concerts, music recitals, Brighton Fringe and Festival events, meetings, dinners, and plays. The beautiful interior with its excellent acoustics makes St Nicholas a wonderful concert venue and smaller events are just as perfectly suited as the Church's structure ensures the space never feels too large.
