FAQ

Yes. External suppliers, including DJs, are welcome, and preferred suppliers can also be recommended.

Yes. Venue hire includes two 72-inch TVs, which can be used and connected to via HDMI or wirelessly.

Yes, larger items such as a pool table may present logistical challenges. The lift has a three-person weight limit, and both main function rooms are upstairs, so this should be considered when arranging sizeable entertainment equipment.

No, the venue operates as a dry hire venue, so catering and bar requirements must be sourced externally. Preferred suppliers are available, although organisers may bring their own.

Yes. The Pavilion Room has a PA system, which is included within the venue hire.
