About this space

The Loft is a private nightclub space in the Old Fire Station, organised around live music and DJ performance within a compact, stage‑centred layout.

Design: A dark, industrial interior with timber floors, exposed ceilings and low‑coloured lighting; simple fittings and a long timber‑fronted counter keep visual focus on the performance area.

Features: A professional PA system and installed speakers support amplified performance, and hosts may use their own music files or bring an external DJ. A wooden dance floor sits in front of the performance area and the venue provides on‑site bar service during events. Accessibility features include step‑free entrance, wheelchair‑accessible layout and accessible toilets; the space also provides Wi‑Fi and air conditioning.

Ideal for: Bands, DJs and music‑focused groups seeking a compact, lively standing‑orientated space that accommodates both active socialising and attentive performance viewing.

What sets it apart: Elevated seating tiers on both sides of the floor place guests close to the stage and preserve clear sightlines.

What guests say: The Loft has top‑class acoustics and an intimate, atmospheric interior well suited to live performance nights.
