About this space

The Crick is a ballroom-style function room in the University Arms hotel characterised by intact Edwardian wood panelling and formal proportions.

Design: The space pairs high coffered ceilings and brass chandeliers with tall sash windows dressed by full-length drapes. The floor is covered in a patterned, low-pile carpet and the proportions create a structured, formal interior.

Features: The Crick has built-in PA speakers, an AV projection screen and hotel Wi‑Fi, plus air conditioning. The room supports multiple layouts and permits external DJs or playing your own music subject to venue noise restrictions. The room provides step-free access and accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Groups seeking a formal, seated gathering or a mixed seating-and-standing format in a period hotel setting.

What guests say: The Crick benefits from bright, well-maintained interiors and comfortable finishes. The space complements the hotel's characterful setting and careful upkeep.
