About this space

The spacious area has more than enough space for a 150 to stand and mingle, and 80 seated - perfect for Christmas dinners, corporate xmas drinks and album launches.

Located in the central large arch, the glass doors create a smooth transition to the adjoining all-weather heated and covered terrace which can serve as an arrival or reception space for guests throughout the event. The large fully operating private cocktail bar sits at one end of the room and our in house technical equipment includes a PA, microphones, a variety of lighting & multiple TVs if needed. The causal space has a pool table, darts and other games, or a smarter set up with tables and chairs is also an option.

If you would like a seated arrangement for a dining experience, we can fit up to 80 seated with a buffet or up to 150 standing for a drinks party set up. Our QR code system allows for guests to order food and drink from the multiple vendors around the venue and the private cocktail bar allows for bar service too. Pre-orders can also be made and the room can be fully staffed to provide a more personal and intimate dining experience. All furniture can be moved to allow for multifunctional use of the room on the day of the event and a smooth transition from dining to standing and mingling.

30th Birthday Party · 60 guests
The room is beautiful, lots of hanging plants and a big open space with lots of light. It also comes with a bar which is great. Emilia was very helpful in the lead up to my party.
They were a bit understaffed on the night which impacted food timings but the staff were still so helpful and great.
