About this space

Downstairs is a private event space in ALCOVE located on the venue's lower level, providing a self-contained area separate from the main public rooms.

Design: The room has a pared-back, functional interior with neutral finishes and an uncluttered, adaptable layout that keeps the floor area open for different setups.

Features: The space includes a PA system and fitted speakers, permits own music and external DJs, and has a dedicated dance floor. The space also provides Wi‑Fi, natural light, wheelchair access and a step‑free guest entrance.

Ideal for: Groups seeking a compact, music-friendly space for an informal, social gathering where a clear floor area and a sound system are important.
