St Laurence stands at the very heart of Forres
In late 2024, the Church of Scotland made the decision to dispose of St Laurence Church. In response, our charity was formed with one clear purpose: to keep this iconic building in community hands and ensure it remains part of Forres’ future, not just its past.
But time is critical. We have successfully negotiated the purchase of St Laurence, but now we need help from our community to give this beautiful building a new life and ensure it has a bright future.
Our vision is bold and hopeful
We want to transform St Laurence into a welcoming space for arts, music, culture, and community activities for people of all ages. With its stunning architecture and beautiful acoustics, St Laurence is perfectly suited to concerts, performances, exhibitions, and life celebrations such as weddings… a place full of creativity and connection.
