In the meantime enjoy a few photos by local photographer Sam Breeze from our November 2024 Oggymen Fundraiser!

Answers to common questions we get asked about our events...

We do. From when the doors open up until the performance starts and again in the interval. What we serves depends on the event but it could be cake and a cuppa, a Pasty Supper or both! Please BRING CASH. 

We do not serve alcohol but there are some great pubs close by that would welcome your visit before and afterwards.

This is us. 

You can find more information on our Contact page. 

Lafrowda Car Park is close by and a level walk away. It is free. There is no parking at the Chapel. The streets nearby are residential so please use the Car Park. 

Given the size and scale of the Chapel it is hard to heat. In the winter we will have had the heating on all day to prepare but we know that this will only take the edge off so please wrap up warm – and if you feel the cold, feel free to bring a blanket.

And the pews? They’re better if you bring a cushion with.

There is step free access into the building, an accessible toilet and downstairs pew seating with a very small step up into the boxes.

There are also dedicated viewing spaces for wheelchair users.

Please contact us so we can help you plan your visit with us. 

Currently the full ticket price will all be used towards our fundraising appeal and charities goal of purchasing the St Just Wesleyan Miners’ Chapel. We have more information here. 

In order for us to sell tickets online and take payment for these tickets we need to use online services which charge fees. We have looked around to see how best we can help reduce these fees – as a charity we have taken advantage of the reduced fees from paypal and on top of this the good people of Ticket Tailor have given us a 50% discount on their fees to support our charities efforts. Currently our booking fee is £1 which comparatively we think is the lowest we can get it – for now!!

All of our events are only made possible by local artists, performers, businesses, community groups and individuals generously donating their time to support the Chapel’s appeal to raise the funds we need to buy the Chapel buildings so that our doors can continue to stay open for community, cultural and spiritual use.

Stay up to date. Be the first to hear.

“Our hope and our prayer is that the Miners Chapel Charity can ensure that the great legacy of local Methodism will not be consigned to history and that our emphasis on social justice for all and practical service in the community, will be the basis going forward for the magnificent local asset that our Chapel building has always been, and we believe should continue to be.”

“I have attended numerous performances in the chapel and sung there many times in drama productions, community celebrations and commemorations. It is a wonderful building holding almost two centuries of memories for the people of St Just. The Chapel is altogether a great resource for the town and a valuable asset for us all.”
Chris Hillnearby resident
“The Chapel is not only of considerable local significance but is also a national treasure”
Eric BerryCornwall Heritage Expert
“I rate this chapel in the highest rank of all Cornish Methodist buildings. I rank it so highly precisely because it is in scale and architectural ambition one of the ‘cathedrals’ of Cornish dissent, so important to the county’s cultural history. For the ‘Tin Coast’ it is simply the lodestone, irreplaceable, evocative, deeply moving. Every effort to secure a viable future will be worthwhile.”
Peter Beachamformer Heritage Protection Director for Historic England
“The Chapel is now beginning a new chapter of its life, imagining a better future, where the lessons from history contribute to a fair, just and prosperous Cornwall. Where once again the Chapel stays relevant (and standing) for the community it has served past, present and future.”
