A memorable event calls for an extraordinary venue.

The venue has a maximum capacity of a little over 150 people. We have 2 floors, and can hold up to 90 guests upstairs, should you wish to only hire half the venue.
Costs
The venue is FREE to hire mid-week (Monday-Thursday) with no minimum spend. You can choose to take 1 floor or the whole venue, although we may require a minimum spend if you want both floors. We're really flexible, so just reach out for a chat with us and we can talk through options.
Weekends
Minimum Spend = the total amount you and your guests must spend on the occasion - this is made up of all drink & food spend.
Firstly, you are only required to hire part of the venue. Our venue can be sectioned into floors and sections to suit group size.
We don’t charge a venue hire cost - we agree on a minimum spend for food and drink by yourself and guests (this is always achievable!). Get in touch, and we will create a package that serves your requirements and your pocket! We can also set a fixed party venue hire cost if a minimum spend is not suitable.
