About this space

Main Bar & Garden Room is an event space within SouthBank defined by a connected bar area and a sheltered paved garden that allow easy indoor–outdoor flow.

Features: The room contains a PA system and speakers, plus Wi‑Fi and air conditioning. Hosts may play their own music or bring a DJ, subject to a venue noise restriction. The area provides a defined dancefloor, a step‑free guest entrance and accessible toilets.
