About this space

Previously a car showroom, many moons ago our Showroom space was located at the front of the venue at Welcome to Thornbury. A warm inviting space, the brown leather lounges, copper bar and black steel and of course our bioethanol fireplace provide all the theming you need.

A self-contained space, the Showroom has a private entry off High Street, a private bar and its own bathrooms. Also included within the space is a raised stage for any speeches, live entertainment or just to have a boogie on, as well as two TV screens, PA system and a microphone.

Interchangeable furniture and sliding floor-to-ceiling glass doors allow for a progressive function such as cocktail-making classes, paint and sip or talk and taste, then moving into a space for drinks and nibbles, perfect for company team bonding, hen’s and buck’s parties or Christmas parties.

The space can also be split into two creating two private spaces for small affairs, both with their own private entrance, separate bathrooms and private bar.
