About this space

The Timber Loft is one of our largest event spaces, perfect and popular for wedding receptions, birthday parties, corporate events and networking. This stunning space is beautiful and airy, all windows and skylights! This area can accommodate up to 65 people for a seated dinner and up to 120 people for a standing reception. Included in this space is your own private bar.

For eating, we serve modern food using seasonal produce from local suppliers and a dedicated drinks list from quality producers. We can offer a canape menu or delicious sharing style feasting menu for sit down dinners.

Up here in terms of entertainment, you can have a DJ, music from a playlist via iPhone, or a live band (we just don't allow electric guitars, drums or saxophones). We also have a photo booth on site for hire.

In terms of decoration, you are welcome to provide your own, we just ask not to stick anything to the walls to damage them or bring any glitter as that pesky stuff and be found for months after!

Please note, this space is not wheelchair accessible.

The space was perfect for a private party! Food was amazing and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful!

Only thing is the lack of accessibility for wheelchairs to the upper floors.
