TidesMeet

TidesMeet in stunning Colintraive

We are a small community led charity who now own the former Colintraive Church

The plans are to adapt the former church building, now named TidesMeet, into a small, flexible, tranquil space and a venue that we, the community, can hire and use for a range of activities, such as small concerts, workshops, book groups, singing, 'coffee and chat’. It will also be used for weddings, funerals and other special services and be a space for community gatherings and wellness. A hub where we can meet in a small and comfortable setting, making the most of the natural light and acoustic potential, and complementing other local facilities. TidesMeet is already bringing business in for the Village Hall and The Colintraive and we look forward to working as a community team to enhance the local offerings.

Booking TidesMeet for your event

It is easy to book the TidesMeet building for your event. The building is currently very much an old church building with heating and lighting but no toilet or kitchenette yet. We are taking bookings for weddings, funerals, and naming services at £250 if you have an officiant or celebrant and at a price to be discussed if you would like us to organise the officiant or celebrant for you.

Hire for a celebration or memorial service is also available. Please enquire for prices.

Any questions? Contact us at friends@tidesmeet.org.uk
