Holding a wedding reception or a private function? We could be the venue for you to celebrate any occasion or special event. Fully licensed bar in separate area to dance floor. So the grannies can sit and natter while their grandchildren dance away.(or vice versa). Hold a wedding reception or a great private party with the ability to invite everyone. Set out with tables and chairs for fine dining or as a dance floor and informal dining. We can also host christening parties in our child friendly building. Also brilliant for Christenings and anniversary celebrations.
Barbecues available.
Space for discos and live musicians.
Small enough for everyone to get together but big enough to separate Aunty Edna and Aunty Doreen who don’t get on.
