About this space

Function Room, a private event space in a sports facility notable for a balcony that overlooks the playing pitches.

Design: The room presents a practical, sports-oriented fit-out with exposed brick-effect walls behind the service area and painted timber panelling on the counter. The ceiling is low and the floor is covered in dark commercial carpet; windows beside the balcony introduce natural light into the space.

Features: A bar counter and service area provide on-site drink service and clear sightlines across the main room. The room has air conditioning and venue Wi‑Fi. The room permits own music and external DJs subject to the venue's noise restrictions and provides accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Sports teams and casual social groups seeking a relaxed, informal post-game gathering or a mixed seating-and-standing reception.

What guests say: The space is supported by friendly, helpful staff and an on-site bar area. The bar area can be loud at times and the toilets show signs of wear.

Excellent service from start to finish. The staff were very accommodating on the night and went above and beyond to make sure our Presentation Evening went smoothly. Couldn't recommend this place enough, if you were looking to book a function in the function room.

Amazing venue. Great space to work with with a great layout. Large bar for everyone to get served. The staff here are amazing! Everyone was so helpful and friendly which was great to work with. At every point of making our booking we have only had positive experiences when using this room. Everyone commented on how wonderful the room and staff were on the night.

The only downside is the stairs up to the room for if you have any guests that struggle with stairs. Nothing else to dislike about booking this room!
