We use the Gateway to hold our popular Infalatable Fun Days which we hold 3 times a year in the main hall. The venue is excellent with many facilities including ample parking, and a lovely on site café. The staff and volunteers are always friendly, happy and accommodating. Overall an excellent venue to hold your event!

Russell Lee, Funtasia Entertainment Ltd

Thank you for all the help leading up to it and responding to my requests, thank you also for arranging the chairs and tables to be laid out, it was an incredible help to us. Also having the stage cleared really helped us create the feeling of the night with the set.

Helen Bishop, Care For The Family

“The Gateway church is a fantastic spacious venue which always accommodates our needs. The facilities are always clean and tidy and nothing is too much trouble.

There is always great communication on each visit, making sure everything is ok and if we need help with anything. We sometimes need to rearrange dates or hold a short notice session, and this is always accommodated – this flexibility is much appreciated and enables us to meet the needs of our donors and recipients.”

Sally Bleeks, Senior Sister (Taunton Team) at NHS Blood and Transplant
