Celebrations with Creativity
You don’t have to settle for a standard party, tie in a creative activity for an event to remember!
Our Maker Spaces allow you to add a creative workshop to your event, creating an experience that’s fun, interactive and completely unique. Get in touch to explore the possibilities of our Print Studio, Darkroom, and Ceramics Studio. We can even facilitate bringing in local artists and designers to teach jewellery making, weaving, drawing, painting and more.
We’ll work with you to create a bespoke workshop package, combining venue hire with one or more creative activities to suit your celebration.
Food, Drink and Extras
As an alcohol licensed venue, your celebration can include a drinks package or even a fully staffed open bar, and we offer a range of catering and refreshment options to suit your event. Take a look at our Refreshments Menu and Catering Menu. Or, if you’d like to bring an outside caterer in, let us know!
We also provide:
- AV equipment and projectors
- Sound equipment in selected spaces
- Flexible room layouts

- Accessible facilities throughout the building
Our team will be happy to discuss your requirements and help create a package that works for you.
