Rooms to hire

Up to 35 people can use our smaller Lythwood room and our Burgs room is often used for business and organisational meetings and can accommodate around 20 people around the table. All rooms have access to a kitchen or kitchenette.
We also offer seating, an audio system and light options, a large screen (in the Margaret Oliver) a white board (in the Lythwood) and a loop system is also available for those with hearing difficulties. We also offer WiFi throughout the venue and parking is available in our private car park.
You can see the variety of events our rooms can be used for here.

It is marked out for badminton and is also regularly used for elections, dances, flicks in the sticks showings, presentations, and parties (it is large enough to accommodate a bouncy castle).
