Our venue is a large lounge type environment with plenty of clear space to set up chairs or tables. It is perfect for meetings, workshops, classes, presentations, meet-ups, yoga, community groups, meditation, chess groups, kids classes, rehearsals, book readings, poetry, acoustic music performances - and much more. It could even be used as intimate wedding venue.

It comfortably holds 40 people seated and 50 people if standing. We have 2 toilets and a small kitchenette located in the foyer adjacent to the venue. Please note, this is a heritage building so diability access is limited and needs to be arranged prior with the venue hosts.
