'Why I bought a church and made it a music venue'

Available for over a year

A Kidderminster building dating back to the 1700s is swapping hymns for headliners, where a brand new stage now sits where voices once led worship. The project is making a difference by restoring a landmark and creating a new home for live music in the Worcestershire town, where the stained glass windows and historic details now sit alongside lighting rigs and a fat PA system. The Church venue will also house a restaurant. Chloe Mogg is given a behind-the-scenes tour with owner Wayne Barber.
