Building Rental

 

The St. John’s historic Church and Thaxter Hall have always been available for concerts, recitals, parties, weddings, funerals, meetings, and more. We now offer several smaller-sized rooms to our list of available spaces.

We would love to see each space in-use as much as possible by St. John’s parishioners and the community at large. We offer:

  • Onsite parking

  • Handicap accessibility including wheelchair accessible seating, chair lift, and elevator access

  • No alcohol or smoking allowed on premise

For any questions and inquiries, please connect with us by sending an email at administrator@stjohnsnh.org or by calling our office at 603-436-8283.
