The venue is programmed by Theatre in the Quarter, and hosts a variety of art and cultural events, from homegrown Cestrian performers, national and international acts.

In the east window of the north chapel are the remains of a Crimean War memorial by George Hedgeland dating from around 1856.

His effigy shows him lying on his right side and on the sarcophagus below is a skeleton in a similar posture, and kneeling figures of four sons and two daughters.

Another tomb shows effigies of Thomas Gamul, who also died in 1616, and his wife, at whose feet their son, Francis, sits reading a book.

A wall monument in the north aisle carries inscriptions to four members of the Randle Holme family, memorial painters.
