Venue Guidelines

The Venue has clear guidelines to ensure your event runs smoothly. We welcome milestone birthday celebrations, including 50th, 60th, and 70th birthday parties. If you are planning an intimate wedding reception, The Venue offers a charming space, although it is not suited for traditional weddings. DIY theming and third-party AV companies are allowed, giving you the flexibility to personalise your event. For birthday celebrations under 25 years, such as 21st parties, a security guard must be onsite for the event's duration. This service is booked through The Venue’s security provider and is an additional charge payable by the client. Outside catering is permitted, but BYO food and drink are not allowed.
