About this space

The Upper Hall is our newest event space, and it works well for gigs, parties, conferences, or even weddings. It was originally built as a youth centre for the Priory Church, so it still has that vintage character, just now with the practical updates you’d expect for modern events.

The room gives you a solid backdrop to build on, whether you’re keeping things simple or going bigger. We’ll work with you to shape the setup around what you need, rather than squeezing your plans into a fixed format.

There’s also a pop-up bar available, staffed for the evening, serving local craft beers, wines, spirits, and good coffee. It’s a flexible space with a bit of history behind it, and enough support to make your event run smoothly.
