About this space

Toad Hall is a large airy room with two separate entrances and a divider screen to enable a separate meeting to take place apart from the main meeting.

The room is carpeted and has a whiteboard for illustrations or projecting images. Toad Hall also has its own sink and light refreshment facilities to compliment the hand washing and toilet situated in a small adjoining room.

A broadband connection can be wirelessly enabled in all rooms and a laptop audiovisual projector and for those clients not wishing to use the whiteboard for the projection of images, a 72inch screen is available.
