About this space

Guildhouse is an open-plan bar defined by high ceilings and exposed timber beams that give it an industrial-modern character.

Design: The interior pairs exposed timber structure and pendant lighting with warm wood finishes, a single-level floorplate and a mix of high and low seating that keeps sightlines clear across the space.

Features: The venue has a staffed bar serving cocktails and a selection of snacks. A PA system and speakers are available, and hosts may play their own music or bring a DJ. Wi‑Fi is provided and the building is wheelchair accessible with accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Casual social groups looking for a relaxed, mixed seated-and-standing space and an informal, sociable tone.

What sets it apart: Private backrooms and additional event rooms can be reconfigured and relit to suit different layouts and production needs.

What guests say: The venue is casual and friendly, and the layout retains conversational clarity even when music plays. Staff are accommodating for private bookings and can assist with customised lighting and room setup.
