What does being a Director mean?

It can be a very fulfilling role knowing that you are involved in manging a unique historic building in a World Heritage Site. It is an essential part the community and there is a lot of local interest in the building, so a Director can have an important in liaising with individuals and other organisations. Having an input into the performing arts events can be very rewarding either in the planning or having a role on the day – if you are interested in theatre or music events you could have an important role or if you like old buildings being involved in the management of the OC. Being part of a team who have a wide variety of skills and experience in itself can be most satisfying.

We're currently looking for more Directors to be part of our board. Especially to help with our bicentenary celebrations!

If you're interested, please drop us an email [email protected] or find out more here: https://www.stdayoldchurch.org/director-vacancies

We are planning some open days later this year, and hopefully more events, but we need your help. We have created a Crowdfunder to raise some funds to help us do this. Please take a look here:

We want to celebrate the 200 year anniversary of construction starting in 1826 and host activities, talks, open days and more.

We had a fantastic time last night for our final event of the year. Massive thanks to Jaclarabag for a fab gig, to Carn to Cove for supporting and to everyone who came out for an evening of music. Thanks also to the Church for letting us use the Church Hall!

A reminder that this evenings event Jaclarabag will be taking place indoors due to the poor weather. Head to the Church Hall opposite The OC!

Doors open at 7pm, show starts at 7:30pm and we will have refreshments by donation.

There will be tickets on the door but with reduced capacity it is a good idea to book ahead.
