The Vestry
Help Shape the Future of Whitehaven's Most Iconic Building
We're exploring plans to acquire and transform the Grade II listed former Methodist Church into The Vestry - a vibrant food hall, cafe and events venue for our community.
Before we move forward, we want to hear from you.

The Story
For nearly 30 years, this remarkeable building has stood empty. Water ingress, missing roofs and decades of neglect have left one of Whitehaven's most significant heritage assets in a fragile condition.We believe the best way to save the building is to give it a sustainable new purpose that serves the people of Whitehaven.
The Vision
A community-led food hall, cafe and events space that celebrates heritage, supports local business and brings people together.
