A big spacious, light venue - lots of freedom to set things up as you want, plenty of space for parking and for kids to run about. Good value.

50th Birthday Party · 150 guests · January 2025
Great original venue. With lovely people working there. A great space for parties.
There was a lack of wine glasses at the bar. It was not something I thought to plan for. However the great staff worked to resolve.
