A calendar-first room booking platform built for parishes and shared spaces. Recurring bookings, approvals, room clusters, and access control, all in one place.
Month, week, day, agenda, and availability views, coloured by room, cluster, or location.
Weekly and repeating bookings with scoped edits and cancellations, instance, future, or whole series.
Bookings can require approval, with a status pill, diff view, and notification back to the requester.
A full room catalogue with clusters, capacity, accessibility, and bookable equipment, independent of any one room.
Admin, superuser, and user roles, with per-page access configurable from a single settings screen.
Names, emails, mobile numbers, and booking comments are encrypted at rest, with a full audit log of changes.
Designed from the ground up to run on your own server, no third-party hosting or accounts required, your data stays on your infrastructure.
Gmail SSO support, so parishioners and staff can sign in with an existing Google account instead of another password to manage.

PaxSpace is not publicly hosted. It's built and deployed for specific parishes and organisations. There's no public sign-up or app link on this page.
That's by design as much as it is a limitation: PaxSpace is built with private, self-hosted deployment in mind, each parish or organisation runs its own instance, on its own infrastructure, with its own data.
If you're looking after room or equipment bookings for a parish, church, or shared community space and this sounds useful, get in touch and we can walk you through a demo.
Interested in PaxSpace for your parish or organisation, or have questions about how it works? Send an email and we'll get back to you.
Not as a public sign-up right now. It's deployed per organisation. Email us and we can arrange a walkthrough or demo access.
Yes. Personal data (names, emails, mobile numbers, booking comments) is encrypted at rest, and every change is captured in an audit log.
Branding, opening hours, booking rules, room clusters, and email templates are all configurable per deployment.
