The Old Chapel is also used for community activities, and we have a number of regular users of the spaces at this beautiful venue. Our C-Fylm Club meets monthly in either the Main Hall or the Kelly Room depending on the time of year. The Big Jazz Choir and the Calstock Singers rehearse regularly, and a yoga class started in the summer. Details on how to get involved or contact the organisers can be found below.
If you like to run an activity at the Old Chapel, or host a meeting or other event, please get in touch and email hire@calstockart.org. Although many evenings are busy with activities, performances or other hire events, there is usually space during the day and some evenings.

C Fylm
C Fylm is Cornwall’s film club network. It supports community venues to screen a season of films for their local audience. This allows people across Cornwall the chance to watch great films in their own community, at an affordable price. The project is run in partnership with Carn to Cove.
It costs £6 annually and this includes the first film. Then all other film performances are £4.
Calstock Arts C-Fylm Club runs once a month on a Thursday. See our What’s On page for details of the next film.
