About this space

Lampworks Bar is an intimate, character-led venue suited to social events and informal gatherings. Capacity allows for up to 100 guests seated or 200 standing. The space adapts easily to different formats.

The venue is used for private parties, acoustic performances, networking events, and small celebrations. A mini stage supports live music, spoken word, and presentations. A darts area sits alongside the main room and remains in use until midnight.
