Function Rooms and Meeting Facilities

We have four rooms suitable for a wide variety of purposes …all with different design, size, style and atmosphere. There is sure to be one that will suit your requirement and we’re clever at changing the room layouts to tailor the room exactly as you need.

All our rooms have wireless Broadband capability and can of course be set up as required with flip charts, OHP and screen, or digital projector and screen. In addition the Conference Room has a multifunction lecturn which controls curtains, drop down screen and ceiling mounted digital projector through which images and sound can be transmitted from TV (including satellite), DVD, video, PC or laptop.

Lounge : 12m x 9m

In the evening this room is used as our licensed bar but through the day can be transformed into a meeting room which can comfortably hold 20 boardroom style or 50 theatre style. It is particularly suitable for discussion groups or when a relatively informal meeting is required.

By the substitution of different seating and tables and the use of the flexible lighting system, the style and atmosphere can change completely to suit customer needs exactly.

And of course, if the meeting or discussion group is so informal that drinks are required, the bar can be opened on a cash or account basis as preferred.

We can serve food to you in this room also, as a self serve hot or cold buffet, or waitress served to table.

Training Room : 12m x 12m

This is our most flexible room and is particularly in demand for product launches and other uses where a non carpeted floor is preferable. We’ve seen many delegates running around their chairs in warm up sessions during training programmes before sitting down to some theoretical tuition!

Up to 30 can be seated boardroom style and 60 plus theatre style.

Kung Fu sessions are held here (every Thursday evening) and the room is very popular for emerging rock bands to fine tune their music – but so far no X Factor!!

We host a very popular children’s drama workshop on Saturday mornings in this room.

Meeting Room : 9m x 6m

We sometimes call this room ‘the Boardroom’ because that’s what it has the feel of and tends to be used for more formal meetings around the shaped tables that combine together to seat 18.

The tables are very versatile though and we can create an entirely different feel if required, either by setting out as classroom style or by creating round tables for interviews.

We have served some splendid meals in this room when transformed into a private dining room and it is fully licensed for the sale and consumption of alcohol.

Conference/Function Room : 16m x 12m

This large room has two types of flooring and like all our facilities is multi functional. The central area’s hard flooring is perfect for dancing of all sorts where seating can be arranged around the carpeted perimeter.

This room seats up to 120 theatre style.

Even greater flexibility and capacity can be obtained when we open the twin double doors leading to the Lounge.

The size of the room allows for meeting tables in the centre and breakout areas around the edges or is perfect for larger scale company or product launches, presentations, conferences or hearings.

We’ve had wedding receptions, bed sales and brass band concerts in this room.
