Hire charges include: a large, light and airy hall with a stage, kitchen, cloakroom, heating and hall lighting. Theatre lighting and control system is available for hire under a separate agreement.

We also have an alcohol licence, but you may need to take out your own Temporary Event Licence with the Licensing Authority.
