Hall at Portuguese Speakers Community Centre
About this space
The Hall can accommodate approximately 40 guests indoors or up to 55 including the garden. We regularly host community events, book fairs, birthdays and children’s parties, AGMs, meetings, workshops, classes, rehearsals, and small celebrations.
The room is clean and open-plan, with complimentary chairs and folding tables that can be arranged to suit your event.
There is a small kitchen area for light food and refreshments (sink and counter space, no cooker), plus an optional projector and screen for presentations, movie nights or slideshows.
In good weather, guests can enjoy our sunny private garden, ideal for kids’ activities, relaxed drinks or breakout space.
