Auchincruive Church in St Quivox village is an ancient Grade 1 listed building, steeped in history. Wooden pews curved round the Communion Table forming what feels like an embrace.
There is ground floor seating and additional seating in three balconies accessed from the outside. Wheelchair access is from the vestry doorway and there is designated wheelchair space in the church for three wheelchairs. The church can seat 290 people. (200 on the ground floor and about 30 in each of the three galleries.)
A floored and heated crypt from a separated entrance at the back of the church can give shelter on rainy and windy days while waiting for the bride to arrive.
There is a small ground floor toilet. Unfortunately, due to the historic nature of the building we are unable to make this toilet more accessible. There is a sink, kettle and hot water urn in the vestry and these are used to serve hot drinks and light refreshments are served in the church after Sunday services.
Roadside parking is unlimited, but, for large congregations, may involve a walk for anyone parked at a distance. There is space for a coach to park beside the church gate. The bride's car can be driven to the church door.
The ancient church bell can be rung as the couple leave the church.
