About this space

Pavilion is a Function Room in The Ark Centre, an open-plan, naturally bright space defined by a flexible layout that adapts to different seating arrangements.

Design: The interior is functional and uncluttered, with a gently sloping acoustic ceiling and broad proportions. The finishes are practical: low-pile purple carpet, white ceiling tiles, simple blue stacking chairs and round tables, and track lighting that keeps the room evenly lit.

Features: The Pavilion includes venue Wi‑Fi, a PA system with speakers and the option to play your own music, movable round tables and stackable chairs, wheelchair access and accessible toilets, and a step-free guest entrance.

Ideal for: Community groups and corporate teams seeking a flexible, informal room for workshop-style sessions or seated dining.

What sets it apart: A continuous run of full-height doors opens onto adjacent outdoor areas, allowing direct indoor–outdoor flow.

What guests say: The Pavilion provides step-free access and accessible toilets. The rooms are kept clean throughout events.
