Event Space in a Pub · Semi-private area

About this space

Our spacious and flexible Theatre Room offers the perfect setting for a wide range of events, from corporate functions and presentations to private parties and entertainment nights. This long, hall-shaped venue is designed to accommodate various setups, and with its impressive lighting, sound, and multimedia features, it's ideal for creating a memorable experience.

Key Features:
Stage and Lighting: The room features a fully equipped stage with dynamic lighting options, including four colour-changing stage lights, eight warm white mid-stage lights, and a central LED colour-changing baton. Perfect for performances or presentations, the lighting can be adjusted to suit your event's mood.

Theatre-Style Layout: LED strip lights line both sides of the room, complemented by uplighters that set the tone for any occasion. For a more immersive experience, the space also includes a haze machine, a laser, and four moving head lights, offering flexibility for themed events and entertainment.

Pool and Darts: For a bit of fun and casual entertainment, the room includes a pool table (charged at £1 per game), and a darts board (free to use, with a £5 deposit for equipment). A great way to keep guests entertained between activities.

Customisable Furniture: The furniture is flexible and can be moved or rearranged to suit different event styles, including cabaret, boardroom, or U-shape layouts. However, additional chairs must be hired as there is no spare furniture available on-site.

Projector and Audio-Visual: The room is equipped with a projector at one end, making it an ideal choice for screenings, presentations, or multimedia events.
