What rooms do you have for hire
There is 1 main suite. It comprises of
a large main room approximately 70’
(21.5m) by 34’ (10.5m) and a kitchen
(optional hire) which is about 20’ (6m)
x 15’ (4.5m). The function suite also
has it’s own toilet access including
disabled access and baby changing
facilities.
Is the hall suitable for
It's perfect. Indeed we have had up to
100 seated delegates in the function
suite with presentations made from
the excellent and full-width raised
stage. Refreshments for the attendees
have then been able to be prepared in
the separate kitchen and served
through the serving hatch.
We pride ourselves on being inclusive,
not exclusive. There is plenty of
parking, easy access to and from the
building, full facilities and all in an
area of outstanding beauty.
How many people can you fit in?
We have a capacity of 120 but that
includes everyone! Most of the events
that we host cater for have between
100 and 120 with seating for 90
guests using our standard layout.
We have ample seating and adaptable
tables to accommodate guests or
delegates in any arrangement you
desire. There is fast fibre Wi-Fi access
for free and a basic stage lighting
setup and disco dancefloor lights
which will afford any visiting speaker
or entertainer ample coverage.
Wedding receptions, in particular, will
need to bring their own choice of
decorations, linen and other 'meal
related' equipment. Obviously this is a
personal choice item and we cannot
cater for everyone. Except for that,
just bring your good selves and enjoy.
There is a bar which is exclusive for
you and your guests. You cannot
(unless by prior and explicit
agreement with us) bring or consume
your own alcohol anywhere on our
site. Please see your booking form for
full conditions.
No. We are allowed all types of Live
music and DJ’s with Disco equipment
however Karaoke requires a special
Licence from the authorities…. Which
thankfully we haven’t got.
When is the earliest I can hire
Within reason and by prior
arrangement we can provide you with
access to the site from 7am.
When is the latest we can hire
You and all your guests must be off
site by 1:00am. No music can be
ongoing after midnight as we respect
all our neighbours in our beautiful
village.
You will see on our prices / booking
page that we hire our function suite in
two bands. That is not to say that you
cannot (and most events do this)
combine the bands to hire for a full
day or weekend.
Our aim is to fit you in. We will work
with you to get you the best deal that
means you and your guests have the
best time possible when you come. We
are as flexible and sensible as you are.
What about opening up and
Our manager Andrew (07711290975)
and events co-ordinator Joan (01772
616800) will be on hand to greet you
upon arrival and open up. They will
then fully explain what to do whilst on
site and when you are ready to leave.
