Room Hire

Cornerstone has been open since December 2011, and proves to be a valuable asset to the Sandylands and Kendal communities.

Our building is warm and inviting with various different sizes of rooms available. Please do enquire to us if you would like more information. Parking can be limited on Sandgate, however, Kendal Cricket Club and the local pub do have car parks, which charge a nominal fee.
