Summer Party · 100 guests · July 2026 · Backyard Terrace

The Backyard Terrace is a fantastic venue, beautifully decorated with a great mix of seating areas and plenty of space for guests to mingle and stand comfortably. Having a completely private, self-contained space with its own bar, toilets, sound system and TVs made it ideal for our event and helped create a great atmosphere. The food was excellent, and the team were outstanding from start to finish. Everyone involved, from the booking process through to the organisation on the night itself, was friendly, responsive and incredibly helpful, making the whole experience seamless and stress-free. I would highly recommend!

The space was perfect for a private party! Food was amazing and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful!

Only thing is the lack of accessibility for wheelchairs to the upper floors.
