Building

The building has the character to be expected in one built in the 1890s. It has two main rooms comprising a large hall and a smaller meeting room.

Each main room is accessible independently if two separate functions are happening at the same time.

Rooms 

The Main Hall is 11.9 metres by 7.4 metres and is 3 metres high. It is licensed to hold 80* or 100* people seated depending on the event style and 100 standing.

The Lower Room is 6.6 metres by 7.5 metres and is licensed for 40* or 60* seated depending on the event and 60 standing. There is a small wall mounted electric projection screen in this room.

* Please note the capacity numbers above include any/all staff/performers, etc.

Kitchen / Bar

The small but pleasant bar area measures 4.4 metres by 4.2 metres.
It is equipped with a bar, fridge and a selection of glasses. The sale of alcohol requires our agreement to use our licence - see the 'Licences' section.

 

The well-equipped kitchen includes:

  • an electric hob

  • two ovens

  • a fridge

  • a table to prepare and serve food

  • a commercial dishwasher

  • a hot water boiler for tea/coffee etc.

  • crockery and cutlery*

  • table cloths, paper towels & bin bags

  • a small freezer

It is a hiring requirement that all facilities are left as found and all kitchen waste product and litter is to be removed from the site. We reserve the right to charge for any cleaning required.

* Please bring your own sharp carving knives if you require such as for H&S reasons we do not supply.

Tables / Chairs

10 round (four-foot diameter) and 12 rectangular tables are available with the main hall as well as 64 chairs.

The Lower Room has another 4 rectangular tables and 36+ chairs. Additionally, there are 6 'card tables'; the use of these is included in the hire fee.

By agreement extra chairs may be brought from the lower room to the main hall if required, so long as they are returned to lower room  after use.

Wi-Fi / Telephone

Note: There is NO telephone line. The service we have is for broadband only.

Wi-Fi access and password details are posted in both main rooms. Guaranteed speed to router by our ISP is 35Mbps.
