About this space

A compact, early-20th-century music hall defined by an intimate performance environment that keeps audiences close to the stage.

Design: The interior pairs heavy wood and gilt plasterwork, jewel-toned seating and suspended chandeliers around a low, proscenium-framed stage, creating focused, warm illumination and close sightlines from the floor and gallery.

Features: A permanent stage and professional PA/speaker system are in place alongside an in-house lighting rig. The venue provides Wi‑Fi, air conditioning and allows own music or an outside DJ. The entrance is step-free and toilets are wheelchair accessible.

Ideal for: Independent promoters and touring bands staging high-energy standing-room concerts with supplementary seated gallery; the setting is informal and social.

What sets it apart: A surviving 1907 frescoed ceiling and original decorative columns remain intact, preserving the hall's historic architectural character.

What guests say: The venue has strong live sound and friendly, organized bar and front-of-house staff, and the space maintains an energetic, intimate atmosphere.
