The Hall

The main hall is a large room with a stage, suitable for badminton, drama and dance classes as well as meetings, wedding receptions and parties.  An ample stock of chairs and tables is available.  An extended and refitted kitchen, equipped with a range cooker and commercial dishwasher, was opened in October 2017, and there is an adjacent serving area.

There is also a small hall and two further meeting rooms - the conference room and the committee room.  These cater for 10-20 persons with tea/coffee-making facilities and are suitable for small classes or meetings.
