Building rental
For your events
A space
to share
Are you looking for a venue to host a cultural or community event in an authentic heritage space, renowned for its beauty and warm simplicity, as well as its wonderful acoustics? The former All Saints Church, located in the heart of the village of Abercorn, awaits you.

In the vision of the Abercorn Cultural Center (CCA), All Saints Church is, of course, a building to be preserved, but also a space to be shared and occupied in order to organize various activities. The CCA wishes to host cultural events and citizen and community initiatives within the church, organized by groups or individuals looking for an accessible and friendly venue for various activities, thereby contributing to the vitality of village life.

All non-profit organizations in the village and surrounding area that want to offer free activities to the people of Abercorn or the region can take advantage of this beautiful space. The layout of the premises, with its beautiful church pews, is particularly suitable for performances.

The CCA is actively seeking the financial support necessary to ensure the preservation and restoration of this heritage building. Furthermore, the Abercorn Cultural Center receives no financial assistance or subsidies for the ongoing operating expenses (taxes, insurance, electricity, etc.) necessary for the proper functioning of the venue. It depends mainly on initial capital investments and volunteer work by members, donations, and income from renting out the hall.

Aware of its community role but obliged to cover its running costs and ensure the organization's minimum sustainability, the CCA has established a scale of fees based on the status of the event promoter.
