REGULAR ACTIVITIES GALLERY RATES HISTORY ABOUT US CONTACT US NEWS

To enable us to be accessible to the community, we do not hold spaces for groups or individuals unless they are confirmed. We do not do pencil bookings - all bookings must be confirmed by supplying a bond cheque and a signed contract. Only once the contract and bond have been received will you be booked and confirmed in our system.

 Upstairs Hall

The recently refurbished upstairs area caters for up to 120 people and includes access to a refurbished kitchen and downstairs toilets. Noise restrictions require any activities to cease before midnight, and the hall to be vacated by 1.30am. Unfortunately, there is currently no disabled access to the upstairs hall.
