Mawson in 1862 for a prosperous Victorian Methodist community. It is now a Grade II listed church building and a dominant landmark in the town.\u00a0 The organ, made by JJ Binns of Leeds, was installed in 1912 and accompanied a large choir and choirmaster.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Major redevelopments occurred in 1904, 1960 and 1994; the last of these brought the building in-line with disability access legislation, including ramp access and the installation of a lift. In 2014, Wesley Chapel in Harrogate became the Wesley Centre, under the auspices of the Nidd Valley Methodist Circuit which now runs the building with a Board of Trustees and a Leadership Team. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is surrounded by shops and offices and in our Lower floor, we house Springboard, the Harrogate Homeless Project&#8217;s day centre. &nbsp;Our Upper Hall space is still home to the Wesley Chapel congregation but we are also a multi-use venue. &nbsp;We hire the flexible Hall out to many different groups for meetings, exhibitions, fairs and performances. &nbsp;In addition, regular concerts are held with visiting internationally-renowned musicians.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column_bedc47-0b > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;}.kadence-column_bedc47-0b > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_bedc47-0b > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_bedc47-0b > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_bedc47-0b > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_bedc47-0b > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_bedc47-0b > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_bedc47-0b{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_bedc47-0b > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_bedc47-0b > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column inner-column-2 kadence-column_bedc47-0b\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.kb-image_4506ba-35 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image_4506ba-35 size-full kb-image-is-ratio-size\"><div class=\"kb-is-ratio-image kb-image-ratio-square\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"444\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/wesleycentreharrogate.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Original-Photo.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-44\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wesleycentreharrogate.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Original-Photo.webp 444w, https:\/\/wesleycentreharrogate.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Original-Photo-300x203.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 444px) 100vw, 444px\" \/><\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mission &amp; Vision Our mission is that the Wesley Centre will be developed as a place that&#8217;s open to town centre communities every day of the week and become recognised as a friendly place of welcome, acceptance, support and refreshment; a place where the presence of God can be encountered.
