About this space

The Wash House Cafe is a ground-floor event space available for private hire outside its regular cafe use. It works well for larger meetings, dinners, receptions and social events, with doors opening onto a small balcony.

Room features: The space benefits from natural daylight, free unlimited Wi-Fi and full accessibility. Its ground-floor location also makes access straightforward for guests.

Best for: Large meetings, private dinners, receptions, networking events and informal group gatherings.

What sets it apart: Direct access to the small balcony gives the cafe an additional outdoor element, making it useful for events where guests may want to step outside during breaks or drinks.
