About The Harrison Center

We thank you for considering The Harrison Center at Christ Episcopal Church as a space for your upcoming event or activity.  We are committed to ensuring that your experience with our space is both meaningful and respectful.  

The Harrison Center is a 4,000 sq ft space with a full commercial kitchen.  The building is located at 311 Middle Street in downtown historic New Bern. and can accommodate up to 185 people.

We are not a venue nor do we have a staff that can accommodate you as many commercial venues offer.  We do believe in collaborating with you to ensure your event/meeting is successful.  We do our best to keep costs at a minimum and offer three rental tiers:  commercial, non-profit and outreach.

If you are interested in renting The Harrison Center please complete the following form and someone will be in touch with you.

Please note that The Harrison Center is currently booked until the end of February 2024.  If you have an event or meeting that you would like to inquire beginning February 1, 2024 or after, please continue.  Also, due to a staff person being out on medical leave you may not receive a response until early February.
